Possible this virus might get worse from what I read about it on that site. So as I had mentioned to repeat this for a while. So far mine was green too.

From the article;
"Overall some 300,000 computers, most of them in the United States, Italy and India, could be infected and lose their Internet service, Queen's University associate professor Thomas Dean said Friday."
And;

"About 9,000 Canadian-owned computers could be infected and lose access to websites, email and social networking on Monday when the FBI shuts down temporary servers used to stop a scam, say experts."

9,000 isn't that many, there are more computers in Hamilton than that.

It didn't turn out to be as bad as they expected.

Here are the results.

"Since this site became operational, more than 1,172,000 computers have been tested. A total of 1,410 computers were found to be infected with the DNSChanger virus."

So not many at all, seems to have been a completetly overrated virus if that is all that was hit.
