I have seen this fixed a few times on this thread and I am basically out of options. I even thought about just wiping the drive. I think I just need to run the fix list, correct? I need serious help and if any of you could provide that would be awesome. I might throw a few bucks into the hat if this gets fixed rather quickly,

Just ran Zemana too, TwinHeadedEagle. Nothing really special was found but it seems the issue may of been fixed? It found some proxy server and like my computer refreshed and now my browser is working. Probably doesn't hurt to run a fix, so here are new scans since the antivirus removed some stuff.

Also, if anything is labeled "utorrent", my careless son put the program on my computer while I was on a business trip. I wanted to make that clear because I read the policy and I don't want to strike any red flags. He is now banned from my computer.

There are still some proxy values so we will remove them now.

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

  • Right-click on
    FRST.gif
    icon and select
    RunAsAdmin.jpg
    Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • Press the Fix button just once and wait.
  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  • When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

No option is in the event manager for the date today, only a check from 4/17. I let the chkdsk run for about an hour and it finished.
