Hey peeps, I recently ran into an issue where my Win 7 64-bit laptop's net adapter selects its own preferred dns to loopback address of 127.0.0.1. I have lost network connection, duh, and running malwarebytes and avast scans result in a clean system. I thought it may have been something with flashing my router with dd-wrt but since I am writing this through a direct modem connection and the loopback is present I guess I can rule that out.

Any ideas how to get rid of this?

Problem solved. I was using a utility from opedns called DNScrypt which will encrypt your connection to dns servers. It's in beta and it went a bit wonky. I removed the program and I'm back to abmormal, er, I mean normal.
