Hello,
I've been having problems with my Windows 7 64bit pc which has resulted in lots of warning and error messages in Event Viewer

One warning message has me completely stumped , it says - "Name resolution for the name www.clubfiat.net timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded."

I don't really know what this message means because I don't own a Fiat, have never been to the clubfiat website, and can't think of any possible reason why my pc would try to connnect to it.

Can you tell me what is going on here please?

The web page "www.clubfiat.net" it seems does not exist, hence the "timed out" error when your web browser tried to connect to it. Does anyone else have access to your computer who may have typed that non-existent address in to your web browser?

Apart from that, the error can be ignored, nothing to worry about.

Incidentally, the official Fiat Club websites are listed here: http://www.fiat.com/fiatpedia/club-fiat

As you can see, there is no "www.clubfiat.net" listed there.

Nobody in my household would have the slightest reason to visit a Fiat car website, I doubt they'd know a Fiat from a Mack truck! I guess I was kinda worried that I might have picked up some malware, even though a scan says I have a clean machine.

Thanks Phillip and Hawkeye22 for the advice. I'll just ignore the warning.

I got another of the strange website warnings this afternoon -

"Name resolution for the name www.crawlability.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded"

A google search for www.crawlability.com shows the website exists and is frequented mainly by Middle Eastern countries.

Weird behaviour from my little ol' home pc buddy..
