How to Fix the Trojan DNS Changer
The DNS Changer Trojan is a computer virus usually downloaded as a fake video codec. This particular virus is not as dangerous as downloading or dialing Trojans. However, the DNS Changer redirects your online searches to advertised websites and can generate annoying pop-ups. The consequences of the Trojan's activity on your computer include a slow Internet connection and decreased computer speed. You need to remove the Trojan completely from your computer system to fix the problems it has caused.
