Manually Checking for DNS Changer Infections
The following are the original manual checks to see if you computer is infected with any of the DNS Changer malware.
To check if your Windows XP machine is infected, first click the “Start” button.
Clicking the start button opens the Windows menu. Locate the “Run” option in the menu and
select it.
In the dialog, type in “cmd”, as the name of the program to run. (This opens a DOS shell. This is also available under other parts of the Windows Menu.)
In DOS shell, type in the command:

ipconfig /all

and hit enter.
The command you entered displays information about your computer’s network settings. Read the line starting with "DNS Servers". There might be two or more IP addresses listed there. These are the DNS servers your computer uses. Write down these numbers
Are Your DNS Settings OK?

The malicious Rove viruses changed some peoples DNS settings to use computers they operated.
Compare your DNS settings with the known malicious Rove DNS settings listed below:
Starting IP    Ending IP    CIDR
85.255.112.0    85.255.127.255    85.255.112.0/20
67.210.0.0    67.210.15.255    67.210.0.0/20
93.188.160.0    93.188.167.255    93.188.160.0/21
77.67.83.0    77.67.83.255    77.67.83.0/24
213.109.64.0    213.109.79.255    213.109.64.0/20
