Someone's FISHING on my computer

Flushing DNS will just get rid of the DNS memory. System will still function fine.

Responses to some of your comments:
I will guess that most of this junk is a result of IOBit software. I would not trust anything from them. They were caught stealing proprietary virus-detection databases from Malwarebytes.
Never installed any IOBit software while doing this install.......that I am aware of!

Auslogics is now considered a PUP, as they try to install all kinds of other stuff when you install their program, plus they open your web browser and take you to a Giveaway page - very annoying. Until they clean up their act, I would not use them. Defraggler (free) by Piriform is a good replacement.

Her OS Drive is now an SSD and I do not defrag this drive. I have used Piriform Defragler in the past...maybe I used it to defrag the HDD(data drive)

Do not ever, under any circumstances, install SpyHunter on a system!
Been there, done that! What a mess.
Will have to tell my brother about this as I think one of his computers has it. Think he bought it too.

Scheduled Task - WiseCleaner
Never installed it, though I think I did install Wise JetSearch

Lavasoft needs to go
I Know of them but have not used any of their software in years.

As I said earlier, AdwCleaner should have taken care of these issues...

Dog 2 out Now! 3:20P

Maybe these are some leftovers from previous installs or other bundled software. No matter, as you say, ADWCleaner has taken care of them.

Seems every time Windows updates that the default is restored.

I just noticed you edited this post. Sorry. I don't get notifications for edits, only new posts.

Not seeing Java in here, so that's good. Everything looks fine. MBAM (Malwarebytes) will revert to the free version after the trial expires. You can leave it on there, just have to manually run scans with it and there will be no active protection.

So Defender is the AV on here. Please make sure it's updating virus defs.

Yeah MS like to reset everything all the time - drives me nuts.

For some reason I can't get to that link.
I've pulled up the user guide at
https://secure.xfinity.com/anon.comc...User_Guide.pdf
and I don't see anything regarding DNS servers - can you tell me what page?

I don't understand how Comcast could tell you what DNS servers to put on your computer's network interface adapters...

People do certainly put OpenDNS server addresses in their routers, but that's not what I was suggesting(?)

WinTenUser said:

Perhaps I am not following the instructions:

Run CMD as admin and copy/paste (Windows overrides router's settings):

Code:

wmic nicconfig where DHCPEnabled=TRUE call SetDNSServerSearchOrder ("208.67.222.222","208.67.220.220")
