Developer’s Description

Scan your computer for the DNSChanger trojan horse.

The DNSChanger Trojan Horse, also known as OSX.RSPlug.A and OSX/Puper, has been found on numerous pornographic websites disguising itself as a video codec. Once downloaded and installed, DNSChanger changes the DNS settings on the computer, redirecting websites entered by the user to malicious sites. If personal information is entered on these malicious websites, it can lead to identity theft.

Upon launching DNSChanger Removal Tool, click the Scan button to scan for the DNSChanger trojan horse. DNSChanger Removal Tool will scan your computer for the DNSChanger trojan horse, and alert you if it is detected. If the DNSChanger trojan horse is detected, DNSChanger Removal Tool will give you the option to remove it. If the DNSChanger trojan horse is detected and removed, you will need to restart your computer to clear out the bad DNS entries added by the DNSChanger Trojan Horse.

Didn't find the Trojan on OS X 10.6.8

Pros
Easy to download & run.
Cons
Didn't find the DNSChanger. I was able initially to manually remove the rogue DNS numbers. Now it my network DNS screens have been locked up & the the lower left corner lock has been replaced by a "?" that goes to a help screen that does not open.
Summary
Seems there is a new DNSChanger out now that has not been recognized &/or cannot be removed. MacScan 2 doesn't see it either.
Must have if you ever run into this virus.

Summary
I used just to found out if I have any Trojan Horse!! However my macPro is clean... However I went to the website of the software and they only have 3 reviews and was good ones, so I decided to used it to see it... I think everyone should try this just to be in the right side, I know they talking about some XXX websites that you and I know that get it, however I have my pastor from my church got his Trojan from a mirror website.... so is better to be save than sorry...
Doesn't work for me!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I downloaded and installed this thing and ran it as directed. It claims to have found the bug but after trying to remove it says it cannot remove the bug.
