Good thing I'm using OpenDNS
It's the same thing with OpenDNS. Bad domains are redirected to their search pages.
YES. Unless you sign up for a FREE account and then set up the option to Turn off typo correction. You go in to the Dashboard at www.opendns.com and select settings and the typo corrections and then uncheck the box enable typo correction.

Hey

If you want to get rid of those advertisements
just go to the bottom of that page and click learn more and there you can disable the service
All that does is set a permanent cookie, which is not the ideal workaround, more like adding insult to injury.

If you delete the cookie, you'll start getting the "special" page again.

Also, that Rogers page attempts to set cookies by doubleclick.net (no thanks).

I called Rogers this morning about this. They told me to change my DNS servers to 204.60.0.2 & 204.60.0.3; they also said they have been getting a lot of calls about this.
