How to prevent otheres from changing my computer DNS?
OpenDNS is really a great website to prevent internet abuse. But the problem is what if someone else using my computer changed the DNS setting? In other words, removed the numbers of the site and used another. In this case OpenDNS will not work and consequently, all previously blocked domains will open and work. So, my question is how to prevent others from doing that?

my first question is why would someone change the DNS from what You’ve set it to? unless you have set up parental controls of course….
you don’t specify if your using a router or a usb modem so i will run through both
Router: change the password, then nobody can change your DNS settings
USB Modem: make yourself the only person on the computer with ADMIN access, then they cant change it (this will also work if you have configured Open DNS through the computer rather than the router)
