DSN changer - internet doomsday?

Just reading that on July 9 a load of PCs could lose internet connection due to this DSN changer virus. I've read articles that range from 'bad luck if you're one of the 20,000 in UK' to 'the world is ending' in their style. But what is the real danger, and how do we find out if we have this DSN changer virus?
I have Avast free - would that have picked up if I've been infected? From what I can see the virus was doing the rounds in 2007 and since then I've had my PC cleaned twice after being hit by other viruses - safe to assume I'm in the clear or anything else I should do?
