IP location changed

try malwarebyte

why do you need a vpn if your ip's already changed

OP your DNS was changed.

Here is what you do... @Mayion may be able to vouch for this since he had the same exact issue before I think.

1) Uninstall the virus manually if you know exactly what it is.

2) Go to internet properties, click the IPv4 option, and make sure the DNS isn't changed, or if you want to change it to google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

If it does not fix by now, you'll have to use external tools to remove the virus.


3) Download and run http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/ then download and run http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/unin...rsion-1.3.html to remove the virus. (RKill will stop the virus, then DNS unlocker will remove it)


4) Reboot and scan with Malwarebytes, and then download and run http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ (to get rid of the malicious adware thats probably on there too)


5) Reboot one final time, and it should be fine now. If not then you might wanna consider taking this to the proper section or having someone look at a log of your computer.

Unless the virus targeted the bios like they used to back in the 2000s. Those type of viruses will stick around even if you completely reformat the OS because they're in your bios. I'm pretty sure that's non-existent in 2016 but maybe OP is running XP with an award bios from the 90s.
