I'm getting near the end of my tether and hope that someone can indulge me with an answer.
A few weeks ago I suddenly had a problem accessing my Etsy account via duckduckgo on my desktop (Windows). When I logged in I kept getting a 429 error. Then one day I actually watched what was going on when I tried logging in.
- The duckduckgo address suddenly went to bing.com.
- Then the address quickly changed to 5203.xg4ken.com.
- Then the Etsy site gave me a 429 message, the most recent being
429 Too Many Requests

I hadn't installed any new software before that.
Yesterday evening I tried logging into Etsy and got right in! I couldn't believe my good fortune. However, the problem returned today. I looked up how to delete xg4ken.com. I didn't find anything in my registry. I downloaded a trial subscription of a program that said that it could get rid of xg4ken.com. I had no luck so I tried another, and still no luck.
I have no problem accessing Etsy on my Android but I prefer using my PC.
Thanks for reading this.
