Default Embarq problem...

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?

Not an isolated occurence:

EMBARQ Hijacks Browser Search Capabilities - dslreports.com

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
