For some reason OpenDNS has just randomly (in the last hour) started working on my internet browsers (Chrome and Internet Explorer) and it wont let me go into Facebook or Hotmail. I would like to get ride of it

Additional Info
- My Computer is the main computer at home

Any suggestions would be warmly appreciated

What operating system do you have? You could try uninstalling OpenDNS in the Add/Remove Programs menu in the Control Panel.

Windows 7. It's not in the Add/Remove Programs menu also.

Try this:

Start->Run->type cmd

Then in the command prompt, type:

ipconfig /flushdns

Just tried that,
it says "Windows IP Configuration Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache."

But when I try start up facebook it still blocks it

I have somewhat of a short way you can stop it that may work;

Run -> msconfig -> Start Up and/or Services -> Unclick OpenDNS if its there -> Apply, Ok, Restart PC

If its there it will work. If its not, then a quick google search shows it would've changed your DNS settings. You need to change these back to normal...

I'm surprised you'd even want to go to Facebook when you've got Yellowfever.
