Trojan Horse

My computer has recently been infected by a trojan horse. The virus is hijacking my DNS and changing them to 85.255.115.82 and 85.255.115.25. I found this particularly peculiar because I have a mac. Which is very rare to occur in a mac. I have a scanning application that has found the problem and isolated it, but even though I have done this, the same problem is recurring. My computer is also being blocked by my school's network because of this.

Well, unfortunately your mistaken, they do (clearly), they are just uncommon as there are very few. I fixed the problem with a DNS Changer application.
