All of the sudden today I go to a certain site that has this funny Nintendo video and I am getting a blocked paged that says "SurfControl blocked page." I know what that program is (and am sure it would block that page because of some questional content) but I never installed it. I want my Nintendo video! The only thing I installed recentlly was FreshUI from www.freshdevices.com, but they have nothing like this.
How is this program blocking websites now on my home PC?

I would check the startup key in the registry, to see if the program is starting automatically.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

if you do find it, make a note of the filepath and filename. Delete the entry from the registry and reboot. Then go and delete that file from your C: drive.

This was new to me. Using the VPN into another location that had surfcontrol enabled, it affected me. For some stupid reason, it changed my IP to match its own and I was using its own network settings. THAT IS STUPID!
