Hi, The DNSChanger.at can be of the type Trojan. The Trojan can not replicate by itself unlike viruses. The Trojan can infect your computer through the some of the common resources or mediums, such as the chatting on the net, downloading the songs/videos/softwares, etc. I suggest you to first update your Anti-Virus whichever you have installed on your system.

Hello, I guess you have the registered copy of the Anti-Virus. If you can not have the registered copy then first buy it. Because some of the Anti-Viruses vendors do not provide the all of the features of their product with demo version. So, your Anti-Virus can not be able to detect and delete that DNSChanger.at Trojan completely from your system.

The DNSChanger.at can be used to change the Registry key of the 'NameServer' value to a custom IP address. As a result of this infection by the DNSChanger.at that a your computer can contact to the DNS server that can be newly assigned, to overcome the names of various web servers. On the execution of the DNSChanger.at, this Trojan can copies itself into location on to your system as :
1. %Temp%\ 5.tmp

Whenever the DNSChanger.at Trojan can infect your system it can load the following rgistry values into the system :

1. [HKEY_USERS\S-1-(varies)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\]
2. "EnableHttp1_1"= 0x00000001
3. [HKEY_USERS\S-1-(varies)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\]
4. "MaxHttpRedirects"= 0x00001F40
5. [HKEY_USERS\S-1-(varies)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\]
