Any UK VirginMedia users having DNS issues?

See topic?

Half the sites I access keep redirecting to this:
http://changesettings.virginmedia.com

Even though my settings are already correctly setup to automatically obtain DNS server. :?

Tried to flush your dns cache? Should be something like "ipconfig /flushdns" on Windows IIRC.

Doesn't matter, it's passed anyway. First time I've seen that page coming up when DNS servers are having wobblies.

DNS server is not bound to ISP. Best would be to own a DNS server but openDNS is fine too.

Also many malwares change the DNS provider to their own and windows settings won't necessarily show it.
