Preferred Dns Server Sets To 127.0.0.1 Automatically

My problem is with the IPv4 properties; I get connection when DNS is set to 'obtain automatically' but a few minutes after setting this, it changes to a preferred server called 127.0.0.1, the reroute to nowhere! Now i have to go back there every few minutes and change this setting if I want to connect.

Google was useless, I ran anti-malware, rebooted and reset all connections to both WiFi and Ethernet connection to the modem, tried all the command prompt tricks and nothing works.

Welcome to CTH stan5582,

Some type of loopback setting there, which redirects back to Local Host (your computer). Often a malware trick, so I suggest you consider starting a new request in the CTH Malware Removal Forum (at the bottom of that linked page).
