Annoying Proxy virus

[reezy]

So, I too have the "proxy virus" on my laptop. Every time I load Firefox I get and error page that says, "proxy server refused connection". I've used Malwarebytes, spybot, SUPERantispyware, and Avira...but I still cannot shake this thing. I even found and deleted the rootkit garbage.

Any suggestions? Thanks a lot,

Reiss

Please follow the Virus and Malware Removal here: https://www.techspot.com/community/...lware-removal-preliminary-instructions.58138/

When you have finished, attach the 3 logs.

Please include an Avira scan. All the logs will be reviewed when you have finished.

'Proxy Virus' is a misnomer. It's a setting problem.
