several things.... 1. Have you installed Malwarebytes and run a quick scan for any infections.... 2. Have you had a look at his hosts file?

you can try a free program called Currports....

I think what he means is that if you go to that site to download the dis-infector they are recommending Malwarebytes Antimalware with Flash scan as the recommended download.....

did you enter your ID and Key into malwarebytes program to be fully functional?
