[QUOTE="Feisty411, post: 1419796, member: 259222"] Sorry to be so ignorant about my hardware. Never had a problem before with my Mac in the 7 or 8 years I've had it. The only other bit of hardware I have with my Mac is the Motorola Sufboard cable Modem. The model number is SB5101E. And I assume the router is a physical piece of hardware so I assumed the Motorola was the router/Modem. [B]cradom[/B] when I used Terminal in Utilities to check what DNS servers my computer was using it came up with 2 of the rogue DNS servers which are 85.255.114.85 and 85.255.112.25. Also I am still getting the alert that my Mac's infected. This is the website that tells you how to check if you're still infected by the malware and how to fix it (up to a point) "www.dcwg.org/" and here is a site that tells you what the rogue DNS servers are: [url=http://optimum.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2876/~/dnschanger-notification#infected]DNSChanger Notification[/url] And here's an a recent article on it: [url=http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/internet/3359490/google-warns-users-infected-with-dnschanger-as-web-outage-nears/]Google warns users infected with DNSChanger as Web outage nears - PC Advisor[/url] I really appreciate your help, guys. If someone here can't help I'll just have to keep searching the net [/QUOTE]
