I have a DNS changer that MacScan can't find

I have discovered that I have a DNS changer hidden away somewhere on my Powerbook G4
I've run MacScan several times and it can't find it. Some of the other virus checkers only work on system 10.5 and up.
I've been trying to learn how to eradicate this manually through various on line advice, but most of it is for newer machines and systems. I'm on 10.4.11.
I followed some instructions to list my router in the Terminal App and see that my router keeps being changed to a server 85.255.116.83 in the Ukraine...rats) When I renew my DHCP lease in my Network preferences my server returns to 192.168.1.254 but within 5 seconds its been changed back.
I don't have a script named plugins.settings in my /Library/Internet Plug-ins (something that was suggested to look for)
Given that this seems to be running constantly, there must be something to look for, something to delete (like a preference file maybe), or something to re-install to eliminate this trojan.
Any of you brilliant Mac minds have a suggestion for me

I changed my AppleID a long time ago to an email that I no longer use and I have updates for apps that I can't update because my old email is filled in to where i sign in and it wont let me change it to my new one???

The problem with those two apps is that they are supposed to be in your Apple ID and you didn't set up the Mac properly/completely when you got it.
You might try deleteing them and using OS X Recovery to install them again.

After that, before you open any iLife apps go to your Mac App Store account, to the Purchased pane and Accept them into your account.

My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer. It will, however, charge to the car or wall. The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.

The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone. I've since deleted this podcast with no luck. I've restarted both the phone and the computer, still no luck. One computer is running Vista and the other Windows 7, both have the latest Itunes Update. Anyone have a fix for this?

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.

Have downloaded new Lightroom 5.4 from CC. When trying to launch am getting following error message and then Lightroom crashes: "an error occurred when attempting to change modules". Can't find a thread which relates to this error message.

Hi 99jon,
Many thanks for that. Had been going through this list yesterday and now again today:
Ref Solution 1: Lightroom is at its latest update
Ref Solution 2: It's interesting how I cannot find the Preferences file anywhere on my mac. (new mac pro, OS 10/9.2) . . .
Ref Solution 3: Lightroom doesn't allow me to do anything after the error message appears
Ref Solution 4: don't have any Nik Software plug-ins
Ref Solution 5: checked permissions and changed all to "Read & Write" - makes no difference
Ref Solution 6: I don't have a different user account on my mac.
Not sure what else to do.

I have 2 iphones, 1 personal and 1 business. I thought I was supposed to have 2 separate itunes accounts. I now have a work ipad and want to only have 1 itunes account that I can use for all 3 devices. How do I cancel 1 account or just combine the 2?

I want to be able to transfer my apps from my original itunes account that I have on my personal iphone 3 and work ipad 3 to my work iphone 4S ,as well as purchase more more apps for the work iphone with the original itunes account. Plus I need to sync all 3 of them with my work tower computer. I really appreciate you're trying to help me out.

Photos on iPad and iPhone as Events that i have already deleted in iPhoto and can't find out how to delete?!

Photos on iPad and iPhone as Events that i have already deleted in iPhoto and can't find out how to delete?!

I had an album on my iPad that didn't have a delete option. I was able to finally remove everything by connecting the iPad to iTunes and going to the Photos tab. Select sync photos. It will ask you if you want to replace all photo on iPad with sync photos. Apply the setting and then un-sync photo again. It will then remove all photos on iPad starting with a clean slate.
Be sure to backup all your photos before doing this. Hope that helps.

In the new iOS-7 Safari, has the "reader" function been changed to eliminate the option to modify font size (and hence to modify the number of words per line), or is it just that I can't find how to do that?

I know how to do the updates. What I dont know is what size each update that I have completed was. I am having a data usage disagreement with my Telco and want to prove to them that this computer did not download the amount of data they are claiming it did.
