Open DNS and Norton DNS are both having malware protection and only varies at responds time.
They have also more content filtering options which you must follow their conditions like register or pay the subscription.

None of the above as the primarily goal of a DNS Service is to increase the browsing speed and content filtering, and not increase your security.lordman said:
Using a layered security configuration with a site advisor and sandbox is much more useful than actually using any of these services.
Let me remind you that DNS blocking works at a domain level and not at a file level,so this may prove very inefficient when it comes to zero day malware which uses new domains to launch it's attacks.
Basically, cyber criminals use new domains for each attack thus making DNS protection useless.
If I had to use a DNS Service I would most likely go with Google DNS as I suspect that they have the most data centers in Europe.
If your only criteria when choosing a DNS service is speed,you can use DNS Benchmark to see if the DNS you want to add is actually faster than the one that your ISP is offering.
Also another good tool that might come in handy, is DNS Jumper ,which will allow you to change with one-click your DNS servers.
MrXidus did a comparison sometime ago which you might want to look into it: http://malwaretips.com/Thread-DNS-Speed-Benchmark-Security-Test-Clouds-keep-it-clear

RE: Norton DNS vs Comodo DNS.. AND....
Hi guys,
Non-techhead here, but long time Cyberbog User.
It seems to me reading lately that the only thing you really need is cloudflare. It has taken over from most other Security anti-venom programs and even has referral point in Oz! (Australia).
Very interesting blog post there about a recent giant DDOS attack

NOTES:
The New York Times this morning published a story about the Spamhaus DDoS attack and how CloudFlare helped mitigate it and keep the site online. The Times calls the attack the largest known DDoS attack ever on the Internet. We wrote about the attack last week. At the time, it was a large attack, sending 85Gbps of traffic. Since then, the attack got much worse. Here are some of the technical details of what we've seen.

Norton DNS have better malware protection but it has false alarms, OpenDNS has not false alarms and has a very better antiphising protection. If i active Norton DNS filters (level B or C) i have seen normal pages blocked as pornography or adultsites sometimes. OpenDNS has more config options too, botnet protection and connection logs to find extrange connections.
On my tests OpenDNS are fastest than Norton DNS.
