Ports, applications, accessibility. Maybe your other device is used a lot less, you haven't messed with any ports or have any applications that require forwarding. Honestly, very weird issue, I would need to investigate the files. Can you scan your PC With Farbar MiniToolBox and Malwarebytes JRT? Post the logs that you get.
Might as well post the log for the newest stable version.

This could be a worm (Network virus). And you might need to reflash your routers software. Check your network settings or network device and see if there are static IP's in place. Could you try disconnecting from the network, cleaning up your PC with Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner, restart PC and see if the issue persists? If it doesn't, try connecting to a different network and see if it happens...
Good to know it works! I'm closing this thread then.
Greetings,
We're aware of this issue. We're working on a fix. I'll keep you posted.
Regards.
Josh ;) Considering my uninstall folder is empty and none of the mentioned file registries are crucial, I don't see any problems that might come from removing those. It could be a malicious registry added to alter your search or download malware, but other than that, you should be good to go. (I am not an expert at registries, just slightly knowledgeable)

Thanks John! That is reassuring. Do you think you could check about the files for another computer of mine? I just want to be sure that the registry will be okay.

...Thanks for reporting the issues. Make sure you cleanup your PC thoroughly using Adwcleaner, Malwarebytes, and maybe even Hitman Pro, as that malware can not only hijack your browser but potentially leak your private information.
As far as the logs go, no drivers/registry keys that are crucial to the functionality of any hardware have been removed. Just some PUPs that are malicious and have nothing to do with it. For future reference, make sure you update your Windows to the latest version, update your drivers to the latest and do an additional scan both with Adwcleaner and Malwarebytes.
