DNS Changer - Trojan Horse found with Mac Scan...

Greetings,
I ran a Mac Scan and found a trojan horse -- a DNS Changer. I removed it and then I I was reading an article about a DNS Changer but found it a bit complicated but the one thing I did understand that if you have had this trojan and go to "Network" in System Preferences and than to Advanced, then to DNS that the DNS servers should be in black, not grayed out, which mine are. I cannot remove them and restart my IMAC because the minus sign under them is also grayed out.
Does anybody have any ideas that can help me resolve this issue. It is causing a lot of anxiety for me.
Thank you.

IMAC 24", Mac OS X (10.5.8), Intel Core 2 Duo-2.4GHz-2GB memory

Do a Google search for the trojan which should lead you to an uninstaller. However, merely downloading the trojan has no effect on the computer. You must have launched the downloaded application. If this is the case then look for the program that fixes your system in your Google search.

Or, if MacScan can remove the trojan let it do the job (merely deleting the application won't help if you've launched it.)
