This is interesting. They can't just remove the malware because that would
be illegal. (Somehow the internet doesn't have any good Samaritan laws)

But I can't imagine that sending the wrong result for a DNS query would be
illegal, the computer is still doing exactly what it was programmed to,
just with bad data.
