What is the proxy error you're getting?
Unless your ISP required this, you can remove this entry in the HijackThis log:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5555
You have so much going on Bruce- it's hard to know where to look! Reboot after having HJT fix the above, then try the Eset scanner again. IF you get the proxy error again, I need to know exactly what it says.
We need one more AV scan though, so if Eset won't work, try this:
Open
Kaspersky Online Scanner in Internet Explorer
Note: If you are using Windows Vista, open your browser by right-clicking on its icon and select 'Run as administrator' to perform this scan.
- Click Accept and the web scanner will begin to load
- If a yellow warning bar appears at the top of the browser, click it and choose Install ActiveX Control
- You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, click Install
- If you are prompted about another ActiveX control called Kaspersky Online Scanner GUI part then allow it to be installed also.
- The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
- Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT and then Scan Settings
- In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
[o] Scan using the following Anti-Virus database> Extended (if available otherwise Standard)
[o] Scan Options: Scan Archives> Scan Mail Bases
- Click OK
- Now under select a target to scan:
[o] Select My Computer
- The program will start to scan your system.
- Once the scan is complete, click on the Save as Text button and save the file to your desktop
Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license is accepted, reset to 100%.
I notice in the Combofix report :
2010-03-03 05:41 95024 ----a-w- c:\windows\system32\drivers\SBREDrv.sys
This is for the AV Counterspy or Vipre from Sunbelt. Did you get a trial of this? IF so, it will expire. If not, it should be removed.
Let me see log and if clean, I'll have you remover the cleaning tools.
