Take a look at this documentation.

http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/november/malware_110911/DNS-changer-malware.pdf

It talks about checking the primary DNS that is set in your router.  If it is one of the rogue servers listed, then you would need to contact your ISP.

I would say that if you are using a well known ISP, then you probably don't need to worry about it.

I've come up green every time I've checked. I've been check periodically since the story first came out a month or two ago.
Dear Lord, On this day, please wrap your arm around my shoulder and keep your hand over my mouth.  Amen
