DNS stands for Domain Name System. You can read about it on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System . Your browser uses a DNS Server to translate a URL into an IP Address (you can also look those up on Wikipedia). Your bank has no idea which DNS Server your computer uses, it does know your IP Address. If some malware has changed the settings in your computer so that your browser accesses a rogue DNS Server instead of a genuine one, you will not be connected to the sites that you expected. I would change my passwords if I were you.
