For most DSL/Cable providers it is not necessary to use a proxy. Sometimes their install CD points you to one, but that is only for their benefit. They sell the tracking info of where you go, what you browse, and how often you make purchases, and where. They do no collect personal info, but I still don't like participating. Comcast amongst others does this with their proxies. This is why I don't install their CD. You don't need it to get online. Just an IP address, gateway, and a subnet mask. 99% of the time that is automatically provided by DHCP to the cable/DSL modem, so you're good.

That is really odd. I may have to look back into hitman pro if it found something kaspersky missed.
By your desktop, I assume you meant hers.
Is everything ok now?

I actually ran it from mine in Safe Mode which I wasnt doing before. The Trojans came up in C:/Vanessa so they were on her side.

If everything is fine now, I wouldn't worry about it. But if it pops up again, try running it from her desktop.

Erick, glad they helped you sort this out.
Now, being all is working fine, while you can, because this level of fine won't last long, go online and order your Mac.

I've seen viruses do it. Often the scanners will remove the virus, but not the proxy setting it left behind. Glad its working.
