What is DNSChanger?

DNSChanger is a class of malicious software (malware) that changes a 
user's Domain Name System (DNS) settings, enabling criminals to direct 
unsuspecting internet users to fraudulent websites and otherwise 
interfere with their web browsing. 

It has been associated with 'click fraud', the installation of additional 
malware and other malicious activities.

In November 2011, the FBI closed down a ring of cyber-criminals believed 
to be responsible for the worldwide spread of DNSChanger.

An estimated four million users were affected worldwide. 

To avoid these victims losing their internet service, the FBI worked with 
the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) to set up and operate a temporary 
but correct DNS solution, while giving ISPs the opportunity to assist 
their customers to remove their potential infection.

This temporary solution is expected to be switched off as early as 9 July 
2012. It is likely that users infected by DNSChanger will be unable to 
connect to the internet when the temporary DNS solution is switched off.
