Open DNSis a legitimate redirector so you must have installed it and should be able to uninstall it.

what he said.you have a BHO hijacker on board and you need to scan your PC and remove all that spybot finds.
www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html
after installation 9 or during ) be sure to tell it to search for updates.
When installed do a 'scan for problems' when it's finished ( takes a while ) check all it finds and then click 'fix selected problems'
best to turn on the spybot resident after that so it runs in the background and stops this happening again

if you don't havea real time checker ( as part of a virus checker suite ) running then you can visit certain websites that will 'inject' these into the page and install them surreptitiously. Often even the page creator does not know of it because the page is hacked for this purpose.
Gaz me if you have any issues with spybot but I consider it a must have tool and should be run as a full scan at least once a fortnight.

This^ and that^also i personally tick the little IE tweaks button that locks in your home page, probably a waste of time as i use firefox, also personally i don't run teatimer in resident it tends to wind me up a bit, but it does stop bad shit happening if you're not paying attention and tend to blindly hit the yes box for everything on installations.

yeah the resident can be annoyingas it asks you to confirm every change to the registry as it happens but it learns if you tell it to remember the action so bothers you less in future. Plus if you are installing and spybot wants a confirmation you know it's your actions that have caused spybot to ask for confirmation.
If you are simply browsing and it comes up then you know something is trying to change your registry and therefore hijack you or install a back door.

other than winding me up with it's constant questionsi think i stopped using it to cut down on stuff running in the background,which is another handy thing you can do with spybot, my machine's clockwork and a bit on the slow side. i agree with you again though that if you can run it DO IT, it saves a lot of mucking about in the long run.
