Hello folks,
I have a couple of questions regarding some alerts that I am getting from Glasswire.
- Ever time my notebook wakes up from hibernation, I am getting a couple of alerts like this:
DNS settings changed Old: 192.168.1.1 New: feco:0:0:ffff:1
DNS settings changed Old: feco:0:0:ffff:1 New: 192.168.1.1
Now, I understand why this is happening - Windows is acquiring a DNS server address from my router and since IPv6 is enabled, it gets the IPv6 address for it too. The problem is - this happens every time. Not only it is annoying but it tends to lower my alertness - I could easily ignore a DNS change caused by malware, for instance. Yes, I can turn off these alerts, but I don’t want to. Is there a way to tell Glasswire that these two particular DNS addresses are just fine and don’t alert me on them; issue an alert only if the DNS is set to something different? Perhaps configure the DNS address explicitly instead of letting Windows automatically acquire it from the router?
- Occasionally, I get a triplet of alerts like this about svchost.exe:
Application info changed
The application publisher changed from “Microsoft Windows” to empty value.
Application info changed
The application is no longer signed.
Application info changed
The application publisher changed from empty value to “Microsoft Windows”.
Does anyone know why this happens? It is not the result of malware and it is not the result of Windows Update changing something during an update - although it could be the result of Windows Update checking if any updates are needed.
BTW, it would be really useful if one could copy the contents of an alert to the clipboard - e.g., in order to paste it into a forum message.
