midco DNS corruption?

[Michael Hennebry]

Whenever I mistype a URL,
it gets turned into food for Midcontinent's search engine.
What is really annoying is that the back
button does not take me back to what I typed.
Also, the search results rarely includes the site I wanted.

My suspicion is that this is done at least partly through DNS corruption.
Anyone know for sure?

I'm running F33 connected directly to Midco's modem/router.
Assuming DNS corruption is at least part of the issue,
how, if at all, do I bypass Midco's DNS?

The problem seems not unique to Midco or F33:
My girlfriend has the same problem with CenturyLink and Ubuntu.
They send her to yahoo.
