Slightly Annoying Proxy Virus

This virus came on to my computer technically on purpose, it was a trojan but I was stupid enough to download what I thought was a cracked version of Left4Dead2 (gamehackstudios.com gave me this trojan), turns out it was 2 harmless annoying chinese programs, one from tencent and another with UC in the name. I later discovered at the end of last month (september) another virus that directed me to trotux's search engine. before I found this I got desperate and attempted to get norton's anti virus protection (because I'm poor I could only grab free trials) but they couldn't even connect to their server to activate the trial. Turns out I had a proxy that was on google chrome and internet explorer that doesn't allow me to access nearly every site other than the stated sites such as: Youtube, facebook, malwaretips.com (luckily). I have deleted as much as I can through regedit and the proxy appears to be off in my internet settings but I'm still unable to access most websites. I would love to get help but I understand I only can when the admins have free time and find this post. I am happy that my performance isn't as bad as it was and it seems normal except when accessing carsales.com.au. Just incase I don't say this after, thanks for the help

Hello,


Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.


  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.

  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Can't access the site, thanks to this proxy virus I can't access most sites, I haven't tried them all but I can only so far access social media. Thanks for the advice though
