I received a trojan yesterday after opening a facebook mail. Now i cannot get on the inter, use msn, firefox or ie. My wireless says it is connected, i reinstalled it etc. I noticed that firefox said i could not connect to the proxy, i have never set one up, dont even own one, wouldnt know how to set one up. I went to my firewall and found 'tinyproxy' and 'anonproxy' there with access. I unchecked their access and deleted them. I cannot find it in add/remove or on my start menu. It was avg that found it and removed them to the vault, i then deleted them from there but still they seem to be here. I am now running AVG 8 in safe mode so that no one can access my computer somehow via the proxy. Any ideas on these proxy trojans? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
 
Here is a bump.

While waiting for the experts -

IF HJT V2.0.2 is on your machine, run it.

Safe Mode with networking does not load startup applications (same effect as msconfig diagnostic setting).

Check your firewall for programs. FF and/or IE should be allowed.

Is your wifi connectiom good to the router? Using browser to access router will demonstrate a working connection & usable browser.

As risky as this sounds, you may need to disable the firewall or reset it so it repeats the process to build the database.

I did not take the time to organize this response. Sorry if it confuses you.
