Bud, sorry for your health issues, myself I lost my hearing about 20 years ago and have Cochlear Implants
The problem your having is because your hosts file is infected, after you run this fix post the log from the fix, then go open Internet Explorer and change your start page to anyone you like, then run a new scan with OTL and post the new log, you wont get an extras log on the second run so dont knock yourself out looking for it. Your copy of Malwarebytes is legit by the way
Open
OTL.exe
- Copy/paste the following text written inside of the code box into the Custom Scans/Fixes box located at the bottom of OTL
Code:
