Hi  :)

New, Free One-Button Tool From Online Security Leader F-Secure Protects People From Evil DNS :

QuoteSAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 25, 2015) - F-Secure today announced a one-button Router Checker that inspects people's Internet set-ups to help protect them from having their web traffic misdirected to websites that can spread malware or steal their personal information. The Internet works in mysterious ways for many people, and that's something that attackers can use to their advantage. But with F-Secure Router Checker, Internet users now have an easy-to-use tool to help prevent themselves from becoming part of an online scam.

Router Checker makes it easy to identify altered Internet settings that can let attackers manipulate what people see and do online. Attacks that change router or Internet settings are popular amongst hackers because it allows them to reach large numbers of people without being noticed. According to F-Secure's Labs, over 300,000 home or office routers were discovered to have altered settings in 2014, with each router potentially serving multiple computers, mobile phones
and other devices.
