Hi,
Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

I reset the router and the issue seems to be resolved. Thanks for your help! One other question -- a number of the anti-malware, etc programs I ran removed or tried to remove the Pokki start menu program for Windows 8. I assume it is safe to reinstall this?

It was removed, but I'm wondering if it is safe to reinstall it or whether it could have been part of the problem, because multiple programs flagged it as an issue.

Pokki is considered as Potentially Unwanted Program, because it is bundled with Adware, so I suggest you not to install it anymore. Tell me why are you using Pokki, so I can recommend you an alternative.

I can recommend you this software to avoid Adware in the future. Unchecky is very light and install and forget program. It works in background and has auto update feature, so beleive me you will forget it is installed.

Read here how it works --> http://www.howtogeek.com/179758/how-to-avoid-junkware-offers-with-unchecky/
• The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:
=> Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.
Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
Remove disinfection tools
Create registry backup
Purge System Restore
Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)
The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.

Unfortunately the same issue has returned. Shall I repeat the above steps again? Please advise. Thanks.
