Shall I leave the changes I made to dns on router? Your patience really must be tested now.... its a right pain all this.

bsod

you can leave it or change it back, doesn't matter, it's has a slight advantage of added phishing protection.

virgin also has a website filtering option in their account settings if you wish to filter out bad sites

if you've got multiple devices connecting to google accounts, check they are all the correct language, check google.co.uk and youtube , internet explorer, chrome, firefox language settings

Is there anything else I should try? Maybe its time to wipe the OS? Would that work or could it be virgin?

Do you think whatever it is, is harmful like a virus? It's not so much that I have a load of greek on my laptop it's more like what it's doing to my laptop etc......

bsod

unlikely, but anything is possible, it would have to be a good one to redirect iphone, windows, and android traffic whilst seemingly making no dns changes to the router, remaining undetected by all your scans, and remaining location neutral on speedtests and google map sites.

Let virgin filter the traffic

if google thinks you or your ip is greek, it could explain the symptoms

aaroncaz

You don't think I should wipe the OS and reinstall it?
(Tomorrow?)

Thanks for your help and everyone else too.
