From: Gamer101 on 31 Oct 2009 00:22 I installed malwarebytes and found this little gift on my system: (Trojan.DNSChanger) It seem to have messed around with the security center, but im not sure what it did to it. Does anyone know exactly what it did to my security center?

Where did you download this version of "malwarebytes" from? I'm willing to bet it wasn't from http://malwarebytes.org/ xposted to microsoft.public.security.virus for added input.

Sounds to me like Gamer101 is saying MBAM *found* the trojan, and he or she wants to know the consequences of having had that malware. Asking a good question would would help here (or maybe using Google). IIRC this one can affect your router if not locked down.
