Is there a way to check a domain to see if it has been identified as a site containing malware, etc.?  For example, I would like to know if the site karenware.com has been identified by OpenDNS as a compromised site.

  The solution to review a domain is to open up a support case with OpenDNS. 

  To check if a domain is being blocked for malware or phishing, you can perform the following steps. We do have a tool called Investigate that allows searching through our Malware database and provides more insight; however, this is an advanced security tool that's available with it's own package. You can check if a domain is blocked for malware with the following steps.

  ```
  nslookup examplemalwaredomain.com
  Server: 208.67.222.222

  Non-authoritative answer:
  Name: examplemalwaredomain.com
  Address: 67.215.66.149
  ```

  ```
  nslookup 67.215.66.149

  Non-authoritative answer:
  149.66.215.67.in-addr.arpa name = hit-malware.opendns.com.
  ```

  If the returned domain name is our Malware block page, this indicates that the domain is being blocked for Malware.
