DNS Unlocker malware, Admin?
at 10:10 10 Mar 2016

I also encountered DNS Unlocker pop-up ads a month ago and they showed up on every web pages. I found out that "DNS Unlocker" had modified my DNS settings. In fact, I googled on the web and found a post ( http://guides.uufix.com/several-steps-to-remove-dns-unlocker-from-your-computer- mentioned repairing DNS settings and it did the trick.

The path to do this follows:

Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings.
Right-click your active internet connection (usually Wi-Fi since everyone uses that, unless your using a desktop) and click properties.
Now under the Networking tab, scroll down until you find Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Highlight that then click on properties. Both options in this windows should be automatic. The first option should be set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and the second should be set to "Obtain DNS server address automatically!".
If your computer belongs to a company or you actually have a custom DNS, then this would not apply to you. Once you are done, click "OK" and close the windows. Now go back into Chrome and reset your settings one more time and boom, it should work just fine.
