Here ya go:

(1) On a NON-INFECTED PC, download Malwarebytes AND Hitman Pro 3.5 (both free) and put them on a CD/DVD.

(1.1) ESSENTIAL SUB-STEP — recent malware BLOCKS the installation of anti-malware programs, so you must rename the executables for the install to some other name. IOW, if you download “Malwarebytesinstall.exe” YOU MUST rename it to “Somethinselse.exe” for both Malwarebytes AND hitmanpro. IFNOT, the malware will likley BLOCK your attempt.

(2) Boot your INFECTED PC in safe mode with network access
(3) install both Malwarebytes and Hitman Pro on the infected PC from the CD you just made. LET THEM UPDATE their databases.
(4) reboot your INFECTED PC in safe mode, *no network*
(5) run deep scans with both, at least twice, especially until it/they detects no more proxy servers.
(6) reboot your INFECTED PC (now cleanER) in safe mode with network and run scans again with both.
(7) reboot your PC in NORMAL mode.
(8) Launch MS Internet Explorer and google “download security essentials” and download, install, update it. MS actually put out a good piece of code here. The is a FREE AV and malware offering from MS that’ll find java explouts that Avast, Malware etc miss.
(9) do a DEEP scan with MS Security Essentials.
(10) reboot your PC in NORMAL mode
(11) rescan with all three.
(12) suggestion — set up Malwarebytes and Hitman to run on startup for a week or so.
(13) suggestion — download Registry Mechanic and use it to CLEAN your registry and also temp files etc etc.

Expect the above process to take several hours, and frequent attention. Have beer and chips (or your choice) available.

Good advice!

I went to Security Essentials 6 months ago and absolutely LOVE it! It is by far the very best out there. McAfee and Norton are ripoffs and don't do half of what SE does. And SE is completely free. For the advanced professional version, the service is outstanding and the protection is amazing.

It was designed and created just for Windows. AND IT WORKS!
