yeh its getting to that stage, might be easier to just give up and reinstall.

23JMZ07 · 10 Mar 2011 at 16:44

Certainly sounds that way unfortunately. Maybe all the messing around and trying to fix what was wrong in the first place has messed things up deeper down.

or i just tick the box to always run in safemode and not tell them

23JMZ07 · 10 Mar 2011 at 16:49

Hm missed the safemode thing before,
Can you post a screenshot of your MSCONFIG Starup tab?

paradisiac · 10 Mar 2011 at 16:50

i can do, but there is nothing in there that shouldnt be

just doing another combofix in normal mode this time, see if it finds anything new.

Have you tried re-installing the browser?

23JMZ07 · 10 Mar 2011 at 16:51

Are you sure? Post anyways

Also Malwarebytes antimalware is by far the best IMO. Update it then run in safe mode.

yes several times, even downloaded and install FF hoping it was just IE that was screwed.

malwarebytes went through, along with lots of other apps as i said, is really annoying.

Internet Options and connections tab.

Click on LAN settings and make sure the 2 proxy tick boxes are un-ticked.

one of the first things i checked. this one really has me stumped, normally we get these in and out in a day or 2, had this over a week now and cant get the issue resolved, so thought i would ask on here.

SoundsGood · 10 Mar 2011 at 17:01

Can you temporarily delete the hosts file so we know it's not that?

3dcandy · 10 Mar 2011 at 17:02

to be honest mate it would be quicker to just re-install now!!!

23JMZ07 · 10 Mar 2011 at 17:03

Has this got Microsoft Security essentials on it?
Or mcaffee?

If so uninstall them...
