OpenDNS web browser pop-ups

OpenDNS is in no way involved with spyware, adware or any scams. We
do not serve pop-ups or any intrusive advertising. OpenDNS is a DNS
service provider, not installed software.

When using OpenDNS, domains that don't resolve return OpenDNS Guide
instead of a browser error page. If you have adware or malware on
your computer which serves ads (such as pop-ups) for domains that no
longer resolve, you may see OpenDNS Guide. But OpenDNS is not
responsible for the pop-up or associated with the program or company
which distributed the software in any way.

We would suggest using a spyware removal program to address the
malicious content infecting your computer. Unfortunately, we do not
have the resources to offer support for its removal.
