I *finally* got a hold of a rep that would listen to me and *not* keep trying to tell me it's my browser or that I'm running Linux and we finally figured out that it was the old ".com.net" problem associated with iwsearch.net. Meaning, if somehow ".net" gets appended to ".com" then the iwsearch.net pops up.
However, as I added to him, it still didn't explain why that if I hit refresh in the browser, sometimes I would get the page back and other times I would get iwsearch.net

After us talking for a while, I mentioned that this only showed up about a week ago and that around a year or so ago, somehow got fixed (on their side).
He - said - that - he was going to look into it (I won't hold my breath), in the mean time, he said to get a blocker addon and use it to block the site.
P.S. I'm sure most of you are like me, when they try to tell me it's *my* problem because I'm running *Linux*, I really get irate. I even had one guy that kept asking if Linux was closest to WinXP or Win7 - Dumb Ass.

Case in point, AT&T DNS server IP addresses - do they have a virus ?
Might as well ask what color paint is on the front.
