My iPod has the DNS changer bot.

Question

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?

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?

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.
