| 4 Shellipe, on Apr 27, 2009 6:56:58 pm BSTI have had the same problem many times. I was able to remove the virus but repairing the damage, e.g., IE or Firefox will not open. I tried a host of things, namely, resetting IE but what I found today was that I went to the C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Connection Wizard\Run inetwiz.exe\select Connect Using LAN if you are on a Local Area Network, Check Auto Discovery of proxy server, uncheck manual proxy server if checked. Skip setting of email (optional). Hope this helps although you have connectivity, I had none. | 5 chigyuy, on May 1, 2009 3:01:03 pm BSTI was infected with some trojan yesterday, the result was all three browsers were hijacked whereby search results when clicked on were re-directed to something like this server: xsweetbear.com or something like that, then it took me to a health or insurance website. Ran antimalware/malbytes. It found a few things but did not fix the problem. I ran some more antihijack and antivirus programs off download.com, again they found things but none solved the problem. SUPER antispyware ran for 30 minutes and found 60 items, that seemed to rid the trojans but result was a new problem, similar as above: No conncection on IE or Mozilla, BUT Chrome was fine.
Found this thread this morning, ran "Shellipe's" suggestion and sure enough manual proxy was checked. Unchecked it and voila, IE is up!!! Looks like as a parting gift maybe the trojan changes that setting or maybe it is default, who knows. Had to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, and now that is rocking too. I am going to stick w/ Mozilla going forward, IE blows.
Hope this helps anyone, these forums are phenomenal, thank you. Saved me a trip to the (shiver) geek squad! Death to the trojan maker douches. | 7 Bennett, on May 3, 2009 2:47:42 pm BSTI just finished cleaning out a nasty trojan virus and had to use multiple cleaners to get rid of it. Malwarebytes Anti-malware seemed to do the best job of identifying and getting rid of it. I also used Panda Cloud Anti Sypware and it did a pretty good job of identifying other files.
The problem was once I had cleaned up the virus, my Chrome browser no longer worked and gave me 404 errors for every page. The funny thing was that firefox and flock worked with no problems. I was really bummed because I prefer using Chrome because I find it to be faster than the others. After reading this forum I went to Options in the Chrome browser clicked on Under The Hood tab, from there I clicked on Change Proxy Settings, then I clicked on Lan Settings, I unchecked Use a Proxy Server and checked Automatically Detect Settings.
Works like a champ now. I hope this helps anyone else having a problem and thank you to everyone who previously posted the solution here. |

In order to get my intranet site back for one computer, I closed IE, I used that wizard, and unchecked all the options, and finished the wizard.
Then when I went back into IE, the proxy setting autopopulated and now he can get on the intranet!
It took me 2 weeks to find out that a proxy error was causing one users Intranet not to connect. |
| 34 MYR, on Jul 11, 2009 2:49:08 pm BSTShellipe,
I have the same problem. (removed trojan successfully using a combination of Syware Doctor and CCleaner but IE7 and Firefox hang Google Chrome works fine). One of the first things I checked was the Proxy settings and they are set to auto already. I also tried running the inetwiz wizard and the settings already coincide with automatically discover proxy settings.
Any other ideas????
Thanks in advance | 44 Cathy, on Sep 9, 2009 2:44:23 pm BSTBut how did you get the internet to work.?? The compute just freezes when that Trojan virus warning comes up on my screen.
Thank you for your assistance |

| 40 RamRod, on Aug 28, 2009 11:12:56 pm BSTI have been fighting this stupid Windows Antivirus Pro all day! I ran mbam-setup from Malwarebytes, counterspy, AVG, and SmitFraudFix. I used thier automatic process and followed about three manual processes of going into the registry and so on.
It seemed as if, and I have my fingers crossed, I have eliminated all the strings of this little #!@$. However, I still could not launch IE. All my troubleshooting was completed using a second computer and then sharing the different virus/spyware sofware over the local network to the cripled computer.
I was just about to try reloading my MS Win XP MCE when I said let me try surfing for a solution one more time. Thank God I came across Shellip's words of wisdom.
It seems as though it was just unchecking that manual box that alloud connection.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! |
