Proxy resetting
« on: March 29, 2010, 05:07:16 PM »
Hi,
I have a machine that the owner got a malware infected. It was a popup that said pay us to remove it. Anyway the user got rid of most of it but now when the machine is rebooted the proxy settings change to manual and this makes the internet go down. I tried to run malwarebytes update but it won't let me import the lastest updates.

Anyone know of a registry hack or something to stop the change from auto configuration to manual?

I got it fixed.

I set the proxy to auto and downloaded the latest antivirus update for symantec and ran it. It found a trojan and removed it. I then ran the updates for malwarebytes.

Its all good.
