Windows 10 I cant connect to a specific website

[BlockBlazerMC]

A few months back I tried to get a cracked version of a program i previously owned. I think it did something to my firewall because now i cant connect to the website for the program to get the installer for it. I need to re-install it since I have an issue with the version. I have got my legal copy back but i cant updated it. The website is Mirillis - Screen recorder and gameplay recording software , and when I go into my firewall settings and troubleshoot, i get this:

Well the illegally downloaded software most likely had malware in it, so I'd start by running multiple AV scanners such as malware bytes, spybot and TSSDKiller.

Some items that would prevent access
DNS servers not configured
Entry added to hosts file
Proxy enabled w/malware intercepting the requests
Firewall mis-configuration
Static route for the site's IP address

To name a few

You can open a command prompt and do the following
ipconfig /flushdns
ping <website url>
nslookup <website url>
route print

Post the output from the commands

This is what address should be returned
ping mirillis.com

Sorry for the very late reply. Once i saw your first message, i gave up hope because i know it cant be a virus or malware. My antivirus would of picked it up. Also, the video i happened to follow had me delete a log file called windefendam.log. The person mentioned that it didnt show up for him right away, and I remember after me deleting it looking into it to see what the problem was. As of now, i cant see the file anymore. I did the commands you suggested, and heres what I got.

I dont think the output from route print is needed, but correct me if im wrong.

From the second replace I mentioned entries in the hosts file, your ping response is the loopback address, you probably have an entry in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" delete the entry and it should work.

THIS is what I believe I saw before. But I could not remove the entry for mirillis.com because upon SAVE (not save-as), it prompts as if i was saving-as. However It says I don't have administrator access even though I am. No other users are even registered on my pc either.

You need to do the following to remove it.

• Press start button
• Type notepad
• Right click notepad and select "Run As Administrator"
• In notepad File > Open
• Navigate and open the hosts file
• Remove the entry and save

Thank you! This seemed to fix the issue. Now i can finally fix my valid copy of Mirrilis Action and i am never falling for cracks again.
