Please try the following steps:

(A) Update your computers antivirus software and run a full scan of system.
(B) Look In Device manager for any conflicts.
(C) Boot to safe mode and check if the settings still get reset.
(D) Uninstall any 3rd party programs that you don’t use any more.
(E) Use a registry cleaner to delete invalid registry entries.
(F) Login with another profile to see if same thing happens there as well.
(G) Run a Windows update and download all critical security components.

Hi, I downloaded Iwin games onto my computer and luckily I had AVG free which caught the virus before it infected my whole computer. However after I caught the virus I couldn't go on to the internet. I could only use it if I ran as an administrator. I had this problem before and I went on every possible website to find a solution, but nothing worked. My friend suggested I just restore my whole computer. When the second time came around I just restored my computer.Are there other possible options I could have done? Thanks.
