Nopagedns.com is a dangerous rogue website from the Trojan.Zlob family. Nopagedns.com promotes rogue anti-spyware programs in hopes of profiting from gullible computer users. Nopagedns.com looks like a regular 404 'page cannot be displayed' error or 'not found page' page. Once you enter Nopagedns.com, it will hijack your browser and redirect it to other malicious websites to purchase rogue anti-spyware programs. Nopagedns.com will also display misleading error messages alleging to detect virus threats. If you click on the fake error message, it will that take you to a program that promises to alleviate the problem but instead it only leads you to the purchase page of a rogue anti-spyware program. A false system alert message that starts "W32.Myzor.FK@yf has infected your PC..." will appear on your Taskbar. Nopagedns.com may prove dangerous to your security and privacy and, therefore, should be avoided at all costs. If Nopagedns.com has already infected your machine, we strongly recommend you to scan your system for Zlob and other possible infections. Nopagedns.com advertises rogue anti-spyware programs such as Windows Antivirus 2008.

Greedy vendors saw the opportunity to instantly make whole swathes of products obsolete, and they did it. They also stuck Vista stickers on underpowered hardware and in this case, Dell even refuses add an XP uninstaller to its Vista driver downloads, citing “bandwidth” as a problem.
