I have no quibble with Virgin offering a search service, and/or browser software, provided that I have a choice to use it (and my choice is respected).
It is not fine for them to impose their search service, or software, over my existing choice because they want to strip some traffic away from [insert my favourite search engine/software provider here].
See the difference?

Do google and Microsoft etc automatically acvtivate this search functionality, beacuse I don't remember telling the google toolbar to automatically give me a response including a search option.
For Virgin to be wrong so are Google, Microsoft etc until you explicitly ask for the functionality to be turn on. Whcih for most people will not happen.
My resonse seeing the google search appear the first time was 'that's a good idea, don't to manually search for the web address'
Is it really that bad to have 1 DNS response redirected.

Are you seriously suggesting that people should look for automated DNS response options the same way they look for what TV, BB and phone supplier to use.
That would be a great ad 'Mistyped your favorite web address, don't worry Virgin Media have the answer'.
People are not going to look for options, again why is OK for other compaies to do but not VM?
