OK I checked the router setting and changed the bad dns server entries to use opendns servers

ran malwarebytes cleaned everything - removed all

rebooted scanned with norton

checked the dhcpnameserver entry in the registry and they were clean

rebooted rechecked the router and the computer , all is well.

Thank you for your help with this!

You're welcome

Glad you've seemed to have resolved your issue, ricmitch

I think it would be worth visiting the malware removal forum still though, just in case something is still lingering on your system.
