Can't get rid of Pum.Bad.Proxy


Recommended Posts

I've ran malwarebytes and appear to have a pum.bad.proxy problem. It removes it but it comes right back.

This is part of the log.

 

Registry Values Detected: 1
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings|ProxyServer (PUM.Bad.Proxy) -> Data: http=127.0.0.1:13828 ->

Welcome to the forum.

Please run a Quick Scan with Malwarebytes like this:

Open up Malwarebytes > Settings Tab > Scanner Settings > Under action for PUP > Select: Show in Results List and Check for removal.

Please Update and run a Quick Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, post the report.

Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

If you're using Malwarebytes 2.0, please run a Threat Scan

Click on settings > Detection and Protection > Non-Malware Protection > PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) detections > Make sure it's set to Treat detections as malware

Same for PUM (Potentially Unwanted Modifications)

Quarantine all that's found

Then......

Download DDS from one of the links below and save it to your desktop:

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/dds.scr

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/dds.com

Temporarily disable any script blocker if your Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware has it.

Once downloaded you can disconnect from the Internet and disable your Ant-Virus temporarily if needed.

Then double click dds.scr or dds.com to run the tool, on Vista or Win 7 or Win 8 right click and select Run as administrator

Click the Run button if prompted with an Open File - Security Warning dialog box.

A black DOS console should open and run for a moment.

When done, DDS will open two (2) logs: DDS.txt and Attach.txt

Save both reports to your desktop

Please Copy & Paste the contents of the following logs in your next reply

You can ignore the note about zipping the Attach.txt file

(please don't put logs in code or quotes and use the default font)

Don't forget to RogueKiller below
