Scan for malware

Particularly if the logged requests were not made by you, you should scan to see if malware is specifying OpenDNS in its requests for some reason. Just because there is an anti-phishing setup in place, this won't necessarily mean that malware couldn't use the server to call home.

Perhaps another possibility? Software on your system that phones home for updates may have preserved the OpenDNS settings within its own config? Ash the experts about this if you are interested.

Also, I had not noticed any particular endorsement in this article. Notably at the end, there are cautionary statements, and also an affiliation disclaimer for the suspicious-minded. (Never a bad thing to be a little suspicious, or to get info from more than one source.)
