"They substituted the DNS for my own and without me knowing about it."

You seem to know now. How did you catch them? Did they do it up front or was it hidden, somehow?

Can you suggest a quick check?

My DNS ip address software stopped working. My ip4 hardware settings on my nic were changed to Googles DNS. The DNS software runs everytime I boot that PC. It stopped working a few days ago so it happened recently. I think that it was Google Earth.

I would not have knowingly allowed this because it would break my my DNS filtering service.

I was very surprised at how easily it happened. Once you control someone’s DNS, you can block sites that you deem unworthy.
