Default Advisability of ISP Proposed DNS Server Numbers Changes on Windows

I could not find a Windows 7 discussion group, which seems to mean that Win 7
users go to Vista groups. My ISP, Earthlink delivered by Comcast cable, says
the only way I can get out of their very much unwanted Earthlink Search
Assistant is to change the DNS numbers to, apparently. two preset numbers
selected by a radio button in my Windows programs. My question is whether
choosing this option has additional consequences and if those are likely to
be good or bad for me re security, speed, etc. The Earthlink Toolbar is not
installed; Earthlink just jams Search Assistant on you anyway because you use
their email service, taking any terms you search on in Google that did not
work, and displaying it on the Earthlink help site. Not welcome; probably
barely legal--I don't know about that
