Good afternoon Damian (Polonus)
I thought I would just check back in before the holidays for an update. I was met with your VERY kind words and thank you for them. I'm extremely new to the "forum" platform, and am relieved. My mother (God, rest her precious soul), simply raised me to respect all others, be courteous, and use my manners. Unfortunately, not everyone shares my personal views. But, if people can be nicer at Christmas time, why can't they do it for the rest of the year? I'll stop preaching now ;P
While I have retrieved my DNS lookups from Utopia, there are still registry keys and strings I simply lack the knowledge to delete. I have tried salvaging W10 installations doing so, but since render them useless. Using the search command in the registry (ctrl+f, i believe) I can delete the obvious inclusive keys, but they reappear on boot.
I sincerely hope I am safe, until I can definitively eliminate all traces of Utopia. I will dedicate more time to it as more information becomes available.
Once again Damian, thank you for your time and efforts. I'll do my best to pay it forward, my friend.
Sincerest holiday wishes to you and yours from Canada.
Darcy
