Barefruit Ltd and the tracking of internet traffic

I am logging thousands of hit a day from a company called Barefruit Ltd. From what research I have done it has partnered with Cox to track and redirect traffic to sponsored links when you mistype an address in the address window.

How can I get this to stop, and why is Barefruit slamming my connection with requests to connect to my computer?
