I just downloaded and ran combofix and that got rid of a whole lot of problems that spybot and malwarebites missed. It's free a a great program

I agree with others...your system has malware. I also agree that the easiest way to get your system back in working order would be to do a system restore to before the problem popped-up. There's nothing lost if this doesn't work, and it may get you back in shape quickly, so I'd try it first.

1. First try doing a "system restore' to a day prior to the problem.

If that doesn't work.

XP

1. Boot in safe mode with networking

2. Start>run>type in %temp% - this will display temp files - delete all.

3. Go to www.malwarebytes.org and download free version.

4. Run malwarebytes, perform a quick scan. When finished, display results and removed "selected"

VISTA/WINDOW7

1. Boot in safe mode with networking

2. SEARCH %temp% - this will display temp files - delete all.

REBOOT

You have a nasty virus/malware that is going to be a pain to get rid of.

FYI, Firefox has had more security issues this year than IE.

I have spybots search and destroy - it won't work correctly - says I am not the administrator and I am - I fix that when I got the computer - it won't even let me uninstall it - arrrgggg - running mal now. Will try the other things shortly - don't understand why I have been using firefox - and then couldn't

Go to tools - options
click on advanced
click on network
click on settings
then check the no proxy
ok all the way out and restart firefox

I would also do as rp99 said and run malwarebytes.

do it in both ie and firefox. make sure use proxy server is unchecked

Ok I have IE and Firefox - I lost connection tonight and had to do a complete reboot - when I logged back on - Firefox said this - can anyone help me figure this out pleaseeee

The proxy server is refusing connections

Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.

* Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.

* Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
working.
