This information is dated and no longer applicable after 7/9/2012. The FBI ran a website to assist computers infected by DNS changer continued to access the internet since last year. This website was shutdown on 7/9/2012. If you were infected, you can't access the internet. If you are still using the internet and reading this message, you were not infected.

While a person can still use the link provided above to go to that site and check for the DNSChanger malware using this link http://www.dns-ok.us/ the servers used by the FBI was unplugged on July 9, 2012.

I recommend going to the Microsoft Safety and Security Center and using that to check and protect your computer.
