I woulda posted a screen shot, but, I'm paranoid and don't know what to hide and what's ok for the world to see.

Yeah, when it comes to the list of suspect IPs, that's okay, but the number itself suggests that you connect using a router... Cisco possibly? If that's so, you might want to check what IP the router is using for its DNS settings. You can Google your router brand to find out how to do this.

And you're right, dynamic connections will automatically change that IP address (and a few others) each time you connect to the server. For most people, this is a completely invisible process. So, if you get one of the bad IPs, a restart of your system will change it and you'll be good (assuming your system still doesn't have the virus). Static connections are manually set with a specific IP address and will not change after a restart.
