EDIT: dav, this "strange browsing behaviour" is directly related to me blocking phorm.com. That's not relevant here?
What are your DNS servers set to?

ipconfig /all ?

Is the DNS server the same as Phorm.com?

Mine (on VM); DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 62.31.176.39, 194.117.134.19, 195.188.53.175
