Hey Red,
You're gonna dig this.
I am going to the forums because I adopted a laptop with an ancient TI card and cannot get it to connect or even pretend to connect- a 1510 ti card on a dell 1100, but I hathis trojan on my desktop and I have run maewarebytes in safe mode, redtarted, run it again-run ms essentials- just keep running stuff waiting to come cean.
Get "clean" and cannot connect to the net.
I happen to see your postit about the settings having been changed and they had and I fixed it and sti no uck.
But it kept telling me it couldn't "connect through a proxy server".
I am not, and have never used a proxy on this system.
The Trojan had changed the "proxy" setting to "only use proxy" or something in the LAN settings.
I clicked the box hit apply and was good to go.
Thought it was funny how it fell together.

Thanks, man.

The "L" key on this laptop doesn't work unless struck firmy..?/.,.. firmLy . Geez.

Let's bring them home yesterday.
