I had the same problem yesterday my solution was to just run system restore to just before the problems started. My laptops fine now just make sure you save anything important.

Problem with HostExpert: It wouldn't let me restore Microsoft Host File.

And 3 network has barred the LSPFIX site

Reluctant_spender

have you clicked the make writeable button?

Dreamnine

Yeah, I've done it now. Just about to run glary utilities

Dreamnine

Glary utilities found a few problems. I'll run Malaware now, reboot, then post a fresh hijack log.

Reluctant_spender

If you are going to run Malware, ensure you update it first and run a full scan

Dreamnine

Yup, doing that now.
