PROXY not responding-LAN settings

[robert]

So my ASUS PC Windows 8.1 got infected with this Malaware that changed my LAN connection settings on my Administrator account and does not allow me to revert to proper settings, already tried following:
HitmanPro
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
Rogue Killer-Found PUM Proxys settings and deleted or repaired
Windows Defender
With no luck, any help greatly appreciated. TIA

Can you create another admin acct?

Can you create another admin acct?

Haven't tried that yet, was hoping to keep original account.
I'll give that a shot to see if it works. thx
BTW I was able to create a Guest account which i am using today, but is very limited.

As a rule of thumb, you shouldn't browse the innernets on an admin or elevated privilege acct.

Try this http://www.kapilarya.com/reset-local...-policy-editor then see if you can correct the lan settings.

Then go to http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner-popup/, run the full scan and post the results.

Thanks trying this now.
BTW tried creating a new Admin Account was unable as the current Admin account will not connect to the innernet. Was hesitant on deleting current Admin account. Was unaware of the rule of thumb tip, now i know of course it makes sense now that I'm going thru this. thx

If you change it off the proxy does it switch back?

Check local group policy/registry to see how it was forced.

What's the status this far?

Do you have another computer you can use to get to the internet and download something? If so, download this:

Reboot into safe mode and run that. It will run through several things and reboot a handful of times (as many as it deems necessary). Sounds like you got a rogue browser extension that I had the pleasure of removing from a client's desktop today, or at the very least something extremely similar.

It was a domain environment, though, so we were able to GPO them into a scenario where we could get it to uninstall.

Try right-clicking run a s administrator on IE and see if the change takes then.

For group policy stuff, run in command prompt "gpresult" to see what settings that is passing to your computer.
