Check Your  Computer if it has dns changer virus >>>> 

Checking if your computer has been affected with DNS Changer is dead simple, all you have to do is go to the FBI-run website DNS-ok.us right here. If the site is green and says you're good to go, you have nothing more to worry about. It's that easy. Remember, DNS Changer only affects PC and Mac OS X computers, if you're worried about your Linux computer or your mobile devices, don't be, they're in the clear.
If you're among the unlucky that are affected though, then you got some fixing to do. According to FBI estimates, 64,000 computers in the United States will get screwed out of the Internet because of DNS Changer. You're not alone. In india as many as 20000 computers are effected but just indian govt wating for us govt to take any action.

What Is DNS Changer. How It can effect you  ?

The way the malware works is that it redirects computers to rogue DNS servers instead of the normal servers specified by ISPs. DNS servers are like the translator of the Internet, it converts website names to IP addresses. It take the website names you put in, finds that website's server and then connects you with that website. The DNS Changer malware was sending people to different, malicious servers without you even knowing.
The FBI saw what was happening and then stepped in, arresting the team behind DNS Changer and replacing the malicious servers DNS Changer that was redirecting computers to with new, clean and temporary servers. It was a band-aid solution that worked but will stop working on July 9th because those temporary FBI-run servers will be shut down by the courts.
