You can try installing MSE using the safe mode with networking or you can download the entire MSE file onto a flash drive using your other computer.

Download Microsoft Security Essentials from Official Microsoft Download Center

Ok so I've booted the computer in safe mode with networking and it looks like this... In normal mode it says that I'm connected and that everything is fine...

Go ahead and install MSE via the links provided and a flash drive/stick.

Then try the clean boot troubleshooting.

Since the connectivity issue might be caused by malware, we don't want you connected to the internet without some level of antivirus install.

It sure sounds like some app is actively changing your DNS settings. If you correct your DNS settings while in the safe mode with networking - do the hold or get changed back?

Alright well I'm at the cricket now so I'll probably have to do that tomorrow. (Just if you wonder why I don't reply today)

Could you start your own thread please, trying to solve 2 different problems on the same thread will confuse things.

Ok so I've booted the computer in a clean startup, checked the box that says "Obtain DNS server address automatically" opened chrome, browsed the internet for about 10 seconds and then it didn't work again. Checked the DNS server and it had changed to this as it always does.

I'm at my wits end here...

Download Process Monitor to a USB flash drive.
There is nothing to install.
Just unzip and copy Procmon.exe to the desktop of the problematic computer.

Start Process Monitor (run as admin).
Accept the EULA.

When it starts for the first time, it automatically starts gathering data.
You can stop that via the button/icon with the magnifying glass.
Then de-select the 3 buttons/icons shown in the right part of this image:




Clear the data that was gathered:




Add a filter for the IP address of interest:




Add a second filter for the registry action of interest:




Start the data collection process.
(Use the same magnifying glass button/icon that you see in screenshot #1.)

Manually change the DNS setting back to automatic.
Then let's see if Process Monitor can find the app that changes it back to 127....


If I use the Windows interface to set the 127... IP as the DNS value, then I see this:




Hopefully, these steps will find the offending app on your computer. Unfortunately, there is a chance that the offending app calls another app to do that actual change to the registry and/or the offending app hides itself from Process Monitor.
