When I had my Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) set to OpenDNS, it took to their search page, and when I had it cleared out it took me to a Centurylink search page.

Well, they did send me an install disc way back whenever. >:-/

....I'll have to look into how to configure my browser settings - if that would help anything at all.

Or I may have to call up my ISP and ask them if they know what's going on. I'd bet good money they'd try to offer me bundled bungled T.V. & satelite internet service.

Thanks for your help. Any other suggestions are still welcome.
