Devan,
you are reading my message about OpenDNS wrong ... I didn't say that YOU subscribed to it ... I was saying that it's possible your WiFi hot spot people are subscribed to it.
You say you already have Trend Micro "Antispyware" running ... does that include an antivirus, also? If so, do not install an antivirus from some other manufacturer, it will only complicate things.
I believe I, and others, have advised that you download Malwarebytes and Superantispyware, but not run them.
Then boot into Safe Mode and run them. (If you don't know what Safe Mode is, say so)
Waiting to hear what Malwarebytes found ...
ps ... If you appreciate the help we are trying to give you, please follow our suggestions and not go off downloading software that we didn't tell you to.
