The PC was Hi-jacked by the trojan PSW.Ldpinch.ADZC the other day and i was unable to open any files or program applications and this trojan kept directing me to some unknowm virus app for purchase.

I booted into Safe-Mode and system restore would not function either.

I went into regedit and deleted the registry entry psw.ldpinch.adzc and some other entry named [reneycan] found with it in the same registry folder. Re-booted the PC normally and then had to also change my homepage back and some of the windows internet security settings back to default.

Everything appears to be fine and i have ran both a complete scan with both Malware Antibytes and AVG 2011 and no culprits were found.

However i do not know how to determine if any bad entrys may be lurking in my HiJack This log file and was hoping someone could please let me know if the below log file appears to be O.K. and what if anything should be deleted:

ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:59274<–You have a proxy Hijacker


DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix or HijackThis fixes without supervision.

Doing so could make your pc inoperatible and could require a full reinstall of your OS, losing all your programs and data.


Vista and Windows 7 users:
1. These tools MUST be run from the executable. (.exe) every time you run them
2. With Admin Rights (Right click, choose "Run as Administrator")


Stay with this topic until I give you the all clean post.

You might want to print these instructions out.

Internet Explorer (Windows)
1. Click "Tools", then click "Internet Options". This will bring up the Internet Options window.

2. Click the "Connections" tab, then click the "LAN Settings" button.

3. Uncheck the box labeled "Use a proxy server for your LAN". Click "OK", and click "OK" in the previous window. This will remove the proxy server settings in Internet Explorer.



Firefox (Windows)
1. Click "Tools", then click "Options" to bring up the Options window.

2. Click the "Advanced" button, then click the "Network" tab.

3. Click the "Settings" button, located next to "Configure how Firefox connects to the Internet".

4. Click the radio button labeled "No proxy". Click "OK" twice. This will remove the proxy server settings in Firefox.
