I would argue that this should have its own disambiguation page, rather than redirecting to Zlob. DNSChanger != Zlob. There should be information on the Rove Digital outfit/takedown, ISC's takeover of the prefixes that Rove had used for the "rogue DNS" and the sort of impact that malware labeled as DNSChanger had.

I tend to agree with you, though I don't necessarily have the time to create a new DNSChanger article from scratch. I just came to Wikipedia to find a dumbed-down description of the malware but was disappointed to find it pointing to Zlob. If I can't squeeze an hour together to make an article stub fo DNSChanger, I'll try to update Zlob with an "Other variants" section. It's not optimal, but it'd be a start.
