Hi Dave

 

Try to reset the computer to an earlier date

That should fix the problem

 

Cheers John

DNS Unlocker may have changed your default DNS settings. You can follow the steps in (http://guides.uufix.com/several-steps-to-remove-dns-unlocker-from-your-computer-effectively/)  to repair it by yourself. (Take Windows 7 for example)

Click Start button, go to Control Panel and click the View network status and tasks link under Network and Internet category. (Note: The control panel screen is under View by: Category)

view-network

Then click on Local Area Connection.

local-area-connection

In the pop-up Local Area Connection 2 Status window, you click on Properties button.

properties

Click on Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) then click Properties button.

ipv4

Select the Obtain DNS server address automatically option and click on OK button.

 

obtain-DNS

 

If the ads still occur, boot your PC in safe mode and run anti-malware software like Malwarebytes to scan for malware.
