DNS settings magically changed?

Weird stuff here. Rebooted my main rig the other day after Halo was starting to act a little funny and after it came up it took an extremely long time to login and no internet. Could ping everything this side of the firewall but nothing extenal so I checked my DNS settings. Figured it couldn't authenticate w Active Directory and DNS is obviously required for resolving external names. So my DNS server had somehow been changed to 69.57.146.14. This machine has a static IP/DNS/everything but somehow it had been changed to this server. Put it back and everything is cool but this is bugging me. Pinged the IP, no response. Thought it might be a trojan or such but NAV and Adaware are and have been clear. Googled for IP and description of problem with no results. Tracert dies at a router in Houston, TX on verio.net.

Anybody seen this before or have any clue what may have caused it? I might see a software defect causing it somehow to switch to DHCP or just lose the config but this was a specific ip.
 
Son of a B...thanks STaSh, I owe you one. Now to figure out why SAV didn't pick it up and to clean up the mess. I did notice that ad server I had in my HOSTS file weren't being blocks but didn't put the two together. Thanks again.
