embarq...the phone service people seem to be hijacking browser redirects via dns...
I like using Live Search...but I can't. This is sort of a hijacking, but it's done by the phone company. Anyone know how to prevent it from happening?

I tried the ipconfig thing but still hijacked
bastages, this is invasive!
edit: and oh yeah, as some will note...the opt out thing doesn't work for everybody
