It is true that there was a virus, better known as DNS Changer, that infected a number of computers recently.

The FBI actually published an article dealing with this threat and ways to identify it:

http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/november/malware_110911/DNS-changer-malware.pdf

Whilst the methods they use in there are a little bit more complicated than just using a website to do this for you, there is no harm in trying both options.

For a list of FBI=approved sites you can follow this link:
