If is it good , Enjoy
1) erm.... where are the ads exactly??

2) if you create an account and set it to record the traffic history, that history is only visible to you or the account password holder.

3) buddy you have a virus or adware installed on your computer if this is happening to you!

The features you mentioned=malware installed on your computer.

Please don't go about posting false and misinformed replies on the forums. I have been using opendns for months and have never encountered anything you have said, scan your computer with http://www.free-av.com/.

Exactly wrong !!!

as for tracking browsing habits, its technically feasible, but I didn't find it so anytime during my 1 year of usage !


Quite opposite, it can correct common spelling mistakes in URL's, block access to sites (if desktop agent is installed), and offers custom URL shortcuts....
