DNS Redirection

Users CAN change their DNS manually to some other ISP's DNS server though, if my ISP used this type of DNS redirection I would switch my servers to another ISP's.

this redirection is more of an annoyance than a security threat.

for those who don't know how to handle ads and suspicious pages they're screwed already because they're bound to find other non-safe sites on the web, unlike the redirection which is safe in comparison.

for those like us, its just an annoyance because we make a typo in an address and then think some company bought the domain, a domain exists when it shouldn't, or my computer has been infected to redirect invalid addresses.
