Sorry if there's a thread for this already - didn't see it if there is,
but I'm hoping one of you technical wizards may be able to help me... A few weeks ago I realised I was having connectivity problems with browsers & software, did a bit of digging and found out that my internet connection settings had changed: under Local Area Network (LAN) Settings instead of Automatically detect settings under Automatic Configuration, it had changed to Use Proxy Server under Proxy Settings I changed it back and everythings ok, except it keeps happening and I cant stop it! Sometimes several times an hour and even when I don't have a browser session open. I've done some reading and it seems a lot of people are complaining about it with Chrome, and theres no fix. but it seems to affect Firefox too, whereby any uploads / downloads when the Chrome setting changes just fail to complete in firefox. I don't know what to do & its really annoying having to check/change settings every few minutes! BUT I happened to have jaksta running - with no browser open, and I noticed it automatically detected and downloaded a file called 'seed.mp3' and I wonder if that has anything to do with it? particularly as since I first noticed it, it seems to be a regular thing and if I check settings after, its always on proxy - coincidence? Theres no information on the file but as far as I can see 'seed' files are used by torrents - which I've never got on with & don't use. I don't think I've ever downloaded one and if I did, I never managed to open it! But doesn't a seed file enable someone to access my pc? So can anyone help me 1) stop Chrome changing settings and 2) stop these seed files downloading? Any help appreciated! cheers |

well I think I've sussed it...
malwarebytes & adwcleaner didn't fix it but a complete uninstall & reinstall of jaksta seems to have worked - fingers crossed - but proxy settings haven't changed since... BUT malwarebytes found 4 instances of backdoor.bot - no its not an anal vibrator, its a really nasty trojan!! don't know if its connected but have spent much of day dealing with it- safe mode, mwbyte scan, symantec FixAccess, avast antirootkit & adwcleaner for good measure... all twice with a couple extra scans!! and resetting all accounts & pw's using the mac just in case... seems to have done the trick and nothing showed up on last scan but tomorrows little project will be a factory restore & reloading all my software ![]() bastards!!! ![]() |

And then try this as free version.
[Versteckter Link - Registrierung notwendig] Some time ago I had problems with my PC. This program helps when others fail. I have deleted everything what the program has found. Since my PC works great. Regards vector |
