You must have missed the BIG BOLD LETTERS that tell you not to write
into resolv.conf by hand.
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by
resolvconf(8)

Well the OP can fix that. First, edit resolv.conf to look the way you want it
to.
Then:
r...@linux# chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
If I follow the thread correctly the OP said that he uninstalled resolvconf.
After he makes /etc/resolv.conf immutable, whatever else wants to change
resolv.conf and finds out that it can't will probably show up in the eventlog
complaining.
Then the OP can find and either configure or get rid of the offending app.
He should find and fix the root cause.
