Hello, Welcome to MalwareTips.
I'm nasdaq and will be helping you.
If you can please print this topic it will make it easier for you to follow the instructions and complete all of the necessary steps in the order listed.

Lets find out where this malware is located on the computer.
Post the suggested log. I will review them and give you a solution.
Download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST).
Choose the 32 or 64 bit version for your system.
and save it to a folder on your computer's Desktop.
Ensure that you are in an Administrator Account
Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
Check the boxes as seen here:
Press Scan button.
It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
Please attach the logs for my review.
How to attach a file to your reply:

I will review the logs and advise.
Wait for further instructions
p.s.
This program is updated often.
If it's identified as suspicious by your Anti-Virus program trust it if Downloaded from the link I provided.
if the download was from the site I provided you should restore the program from the Quarantine folder. It's SAFE.

Download and run Malwarebytes AdwCleaner, it is free software, portable doesn't need to be installed, mostly will remove all this kind of stuff.

We can't be sure, but most of these changes on the system happen after installing adware software, and Malwarebytes AdwCleaner basic functionality is to clean the system from adware and PUPs, and it can restore some files like host files, firewall, etc. from the Basic Repair Actions section in the settings, I used it a lot and it helped.
