Is my DNS Relay setting being hacked? (TD-W8901G)

Model :
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :
ISP :
When I configure my TD-W8901G I set the DNS Relay field to "Use Auto Discovered DNS Server Only" which grays out the Primary and Secondary Server fields. After a few weeks invariably I find the field value has changed to "Use User Discovered DNS Server Only"
Does this mean my router is getting hacked or how does this value change without my doing it? Is this a security risk?
Thanks
David

I tried the tool but no luck. On the plus side I have no recurrence of the router hacking since making the ACL change which is great. My thinking is to stop trying to locate the offending virus since it is now not doing anything - that I know of anyway!
Thanks again for all your help.
