I had been using ClearCloud (a free service offered by VIPRE's owners) to do my DNS for me, for the same reason, but it is being closed down on September 1st, in favour of the DNS handling inside VIPRE.

It is undoubtedly done with the built-in Firewall, but PMC is right: it would make no sense for them to run their own DNS, as ClearCloud did. More likely, they filter all requests against a list of known bad web sites.
The end result is that you get a VIPRE warning page instead of the real "bad" site.
