Check your DNS settings. If you are using the OpenDNS servers, this will happen. Nothing is highjacked. If you don't want the OpenDNS search page to come up when you enter a non-existent web address, use your ISP's DNS server instead. Of course, then you'll probably end up with the Comcast search page in the same situation.
