My Ipad (Ipad 3) has the DNS changer bot.  What do I do to remove it?

I have the DNS changer bot on my Ipad (the New Ipad).  I have tried to download MacScan, but safari does not allow it.  How do I get rid of it?
I went to the FBI check website with my Ipad and the page was red.  I know "they" say that this can't happen, but it has!
Help!

Your Ipad isn't infected -- it is very likely the router that you are going through to get internet service, has had its DNS servers changed.
The message you got is legit.  Google announced they would notify people here:  http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2012/05/notifying-users-affected-by-dns changer.html   Go search news.google.com for DNS changer.  Your ISP may also have been trying to notify you over the last few months as well.  
Check the DNS server settings on your router.  The malware sometimes changes the DNS server settings on your router.  If you find the DNS servers on your router have been changed to the bad ones, change them to something you trust (your ISP's, Google's etc) and then change the password on your router.  If there are other computers in your house, check those as well - you might have a pc that is the source of the infection.  Make sure your router is secured so only you can get on it, not your neighbors.
Here is a list of the bad DNS Servers:
85.255.112.0 through 85.255.127.255
67.210.0.0 through 67.210.15.255
93.188.160.0 through 93.188.167.255
77.67.83.0 through 77.67.83.255
213.109.64.0 through 213.109.79.255
64.28.176.0 through 64.28.191.255
To make the comparison between the computer’s DNS servers and this table easier, start by comparing the first number before the first dot. For example, if your DNS servers do not start with 85, 67, 93, 77, 213, or 64, you can move on to the next step. If your servers start with any of those numbers, continue the comparison.

  • My iPod has the DNS changer bot.

    I've read discussions saying that it is impossible for an iPod/iPad to be infected with the DNS changer bot, but three computers in my house check fine on the governments check site, and on m iPod, it says that I'm infected. The little pop up occurs on my computers and my iPod saying that I'm infected, but only the iPod actually is "infected." Any ideas?

    I've read discussions saying that it is impossible for an iPod/iPad to be infected with the DNS changer bot
    That is correct.  There was never an iOS version of this malware.  In fact, there is no iOS malware at all, unless you have jailbroken your iPod.
    three computers in my house check fine on the governments check site, and on m iPod, it says that I'm infected.
    That site works by detecting whether your device looks up IP addresses using one of the formerly-malicious DNS servers that were seized by the FBI in November of last year.  The iPod generally gets its DNS server settings from the router.  The same is also generally true of computers, though you are more likely to have manually changed the DNS server settings on a laptop than on an iPod, so it's possible your router's settings have been changed to use a malicious DNS server.  If you know how to access your router's settings, you should examine them and see what DNS server addresses are being used.  Are they in one of the ranges listed at the bottom of the following page?
    http://www.dcwg.org/detect/checking-osx-for-infections/
    If so, you need to change your DNS settings in the router.  I would probably just reset the router to factory defaults if it were me, but you could also just change the DNS server settings to the OpenDNS servers (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220).
    If not, you need to change the iPod's network settings.  Go to Settings -> General -> Network -> Wifi and tap the blue circle with a '>' in it that is next to the network you're using.  (Also, be sure that it's using the network you expect it to be using, and that it hasn't somehow jumped onto a neighboring wifi network.)  Then delete whatever is in the DNS field and change it to the OpenDNS servers.

  • HT204053 How do I update my Apple ID on my iPad as it has the old apple ID?

    How do I update my Apple ID on my iPad as it has the old apple ID?

    If you want to change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPad, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • The new ipod touch will have Siri with the A5 chip. Since the ipad 2 also has the A5, will the ipad 2 finally get Siri??

    The new ipod touch will have Siri with the A5 chip. Since the ipad 2 also has the A5, will the ipad 2 finally get Siri??

    It's probably due to the RAM and processor limitations.
    iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
    iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5

  • My Ipad mini only has the newstand app visible...I've tried rebooting...What next?

    My IPAD mini only has the newstand app  visible on the homescreen...spotlight is not working...I've tried rebooting...What next?

    Rebooting with the sleep and home buttons...holding them down at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If that didn't do any good and Spotlight isn't working, you can try resetting all settings and if that doesn't work, then you should probably restore your iPad next.

  • HT1222 I get the message that there are items that I bought in tunes that have not been transfered. I syncronize my ipad, but still get the sa,e message. what can I do?

    I am trying to update my ipad. When I start the process, I get the message " there are items bought in itunes that were not transfered. I synchronized my ipad, but still get the same message. What can I do?

    I assume that this means items that haven't been transferred from the iPad into iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your PC and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under "Devices" and select Transfer Purchases from the pop up window. Then sync one more time. Then after that, right click on the iPad name again and select - Backup. After that process completes then you should be OK.

  • How do I determine the portion of a curve that has the greatest change in slope?

    I am acquiring a dc voltage that shows more than one variation in slope.
    I would like to know the portion of that curve that has the greatest change in slope

    Also remember that if your signal has significant noise, you would need to do some filtering or you'll only measure the very steep "slopes" between successive points. Probably not what you want.

    Thanks. I know how to select multiple tracks in the mixer, did that and put on group clutch,
    Hi
    Wrong..
    To assign tracks to a group, click in the dark gray box just above the automation (Read/Write/Off etc) on a channel strip, and select the group number you wish to use. The first tim eyou assign a group, the Group Setting swindow will appear automatically, thereafter you need to click on the group area and choose 'Open Group Settings'.
    Make sure that you have turned off Group Clutch (this disables all Groups)
    Maybe this will help

When you press the round button with the square in the centre the voice on the phone tells you the time. Then the voice says screen lock. If I try and unlock the phone the voice says phone unlock but you can't put the code in. If you hight the box it will say the number but not put the code in?! What's the crack?
