Hello @Capybebra 

Sorry to hear that you are having problems ... I would like to help you.

(1) Follow

How to Edit the Hosts File in Windows 10

- Remove all lines in the hosts file

 

(2) Restart Windows

(3) Check again content of hosts file. If it has changed again your operating system is virus infected !

(4) Please report back

 

Kind regards
