[Closed] proxyoverride makeing me curious

IMREALLYHOSED Topic Starter

Post #1July 29, 2009, 1:42 PM UTC

My son was having some install issues with itunes which caused me to start looking seriously at his machine. I got past the install issue but thought I would do a shake for vermin. Ran Malwarebytes and it picked up some minor stuff. Looking at his hijack output, I picked up on this one line which I had not come across in the past

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = *.local

Bad? Not Bad? Something I can delete?

HJT Log attached. Thanks in advance for any help!

IMREALLYHOSED,

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = *.local

Bad? Not Bad? Something I can delete?

Typically there is nothing wrong with that setting. It is basically a default (not really a default be acts like one). The only time that entry needs "fixed" is when it appears in conjunction with a bad proxy server. (which you don't have).

Hey! Thanks for getting back to me! Based on what I could learn, that was my impression but what do I know.

IMREALLYHOSED,

How's about giving me a deeper scan and I'll see if I can see anything going on.

Please download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links and save it to your desktop.

- DDS.scr
- DDS.pif
Disable any script blocking protection (How to Disable your Security Programs)
Double click DDS icon to run the tool (may take up to 3 minutes to run)
When done, DDS.txt will open.
After a few moments, attach.txt will open in a second window.
Save both reports to your desktop.

—————————————————

Post the contents of the DDS.txt report in your next reply
Attach the Attach.txt report to your post by scroling down to the Attachments area and then clicking Browse. Browse to where you saved the file, and click Open and the click UPLOAD.
