Thought you were referring to something else.

Change your DNS servers to 209.244.0.3 and 209.244.0.4 and run that DNS leak program again and see what those results are.

From that log, you seem to have had a few IP addresses but I don't know why it lists Google as your ISP.

Hi, i give below. Due to the fact that i was informed by avast that my dns have been hacked, i switched to google dns and the log picture is when i use google dns in my router.Fearing that unknown servers at time access my router, i changed my router dns back to my service provider, which usually ended in usual scan result of dns hijack. I tried nslookup to those hijacked domains and it pointed to my ISP servers ip. I wrote to all concerned , to avast whether it is false positive to my ISP. No repliy came from any side.
                         Meanwhile, i chanced upon contacting the correct person in my service provider wing  and told about this . He has informed that those are blocked sites already and specific sites have been redirected to that ip. so, it is actually false positive to me then, and i reported the same to avast also. Now i know that it is a false alarm, as avast has included and it does not fetch the correct ips of those domains,  it always alerts as dns hijacked as a possible alert.
                              My query is when i changed to public google dns, i was having the weird problem of a unknown shinjiru server is shown as a dns server, along with the configured google dns.
                               i think i  made it clear .
                                  So, i queried if using public dns is safe or not ? If i use the google dns, i do not get the dns hijack alert, but some other problem of dns access. ok

Like I said, try those other DNS severs and see what is reported.
