Not to worry you, but I'd also be wondering what else it was doing, apart from lowering your internet speeds

Fresh windows install definitely a must IMO.
This particular VPN specialises in negotiating with games servers. It isn't a hide your ass VPN. It is used widely by gamers and was recommended to my sons. They have taken the free option, which limits some of their abilities to set up networks, but there is a paid-for upgrade.

A Windows install is a likely outcome, but we want to see what this post brings up and we have a help ticket awaiting the attention of Hamachi.
