My neighbor is the type that, if it's free, it gets put on his machine. He keeps my rent paid for me, as I'm forever cleaning up the garbage he downloads. One Question: has anyone attempted using this from an USB flash drive? Mwn, this would be great to use from one!! Great find.

I have Google blocking such changes, which is why I know the attempt was made. I did not allow the change so I can not say what provider it tries to switch you to.

To repair it fully, you'll need the disk. Then run sfc /scannow . To prevent this happening in the future, make sure you start it in safe mode. See, I told you it would cause system damage.
