My browser got hijacked by DNS Unlocker!

I am using Win10 with Defender activated and I am careful about what sites I visit, but I still got hit!
Spybot S & D did not find the ‘Malware’ neither did AdAware.

Analysis of my system showed that DNS Unlocker had made 2 changes to my system.

The first change I located was that DNS server addresses had been added to my network adapter TCP/IP settings. See image below

I deleted these addresses and rebooted my PC, all fixed; or so I thought.

After a while I was again bombarded by DNS Unlocker adds. I checked the TCP/IP settings and there was nothing there.
I eventually found that a Registry key had been added. See details below:-

Key Location : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

Key Name : NameServer

Key Type : REG_SZ

Key Value : 82.163.142.7 95.211.158.134

I deleted the key, rebooted and all is well.

I hope this helps others.
