This really doesn't look too bad. Nothing really jumps out from this info.

If you're still having the redirect problem, I'd run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and do a complete scan. My guess is that you've got a Browser Helper Object that is causing the issue, and it's only present within the browser. It doesn't look like it's installed any hooks in the rest of the system that would cause it to be reinstalled after removal. Make sure all your web browsers are closed, and run a complete scan. That should do it.

What is this? Google seems to think it might be malware... one site said it was Universal Village Corp, so if it's a game you downloaded from the internet, it's up in the air whether it's safe or not. I'd say at least delete the 04 - HKCU line so it's not starting when you start your computer, but I'd delete both (run the HiJack This scan, checkmark them, and click 'fix selected').

You have a lot of toolbars. I'd go into Safe Mode and run a full scan with malwarebytes and see if it gets rid of this one... in the past I've seen a ProxyServer entry along with the ProxyOverride which is bad, but I don't think that entry alone is causing problems..... might get a second opinion, but I think you're okay to delete it.

I don't know any reason why you'd ever have a localhost ProxyOverride. Whether it's causing problems now or not, I can't say, but I'm pretty sure it was put in there by something nasty at one point or another. So...second opinion...delete it.

Probably secondary to your problem, but I'd remove all those god awful redundant ass toolbars. Yahoo, Google, any other progam on your computer that wants to add shit to your browser. **** all that worthless shit. I've always found them to be more trouble than they are worth. JMO

I always get a kick out of the people that have no idea they actually gave a program permission to install the toolbar.

I've had more than one person tell me, "I never installed that". 9 times out of 10, yes you did.

Looks like UVC.exe is part of System Mechanic 6. But there's no reason it should be starting on each boot. I'd remove that. I've never seen any "System Mechanic" type program ever do anything positive on a computer. I'd really avoid those types of programs.

And yeah, you've got a whole shitload of stuff running that doesn't need to be. You could speed up your computer dramatically by getting rid of a lot of that junk. Much of it is repetitive too. Which seems to be the trend these days. Companies like HP and Yahoo will keep installing useless crap in multiple locations to ensure that their software remains on your computer no matter what. They're so insistent in their installs, that all the multiple copies end up bogging your computer down. And it's all unnecessary.

And definitely get rid of that proxy override.

my computer is just running slower than dogshit. I mean it's FUBAR'd. It's an old computer. I've had it about 5 or so yrs now. Dell Inspiron 6000. It's so slow that when I type it lags like a sum bitch and I have to wait for it to respond. I've done AVG and some other programs and they all tell me that all infected files etc are removed. Still runs like shit.

I want to just erase everything, reinstall my op system and reinstall drivers. Anyone know how to do that? I got the op system CD rom, however I don't have my drivers/utilities CD, I would just have to get a flash drive on the support Dell website and enter my computer product key so it can find my computer specs and I can download the drivers from that.

I dont really have anything on here that I need to save. Used to have music (from Frostwire, I know - big no no) but don't need that anymore.

Anyone help on this? I run Windows XP home ed. A step by step process would be nice. I just want to reinstall everything back to the way it was out of the box. (What i really need is a new god damn computer, but no funds to do that at this time.)

Here's what I'd do...

Go here: http://support.dell.com/support/down...D=INS_PNT_6000

And download the drivers for your network cards, video card, sound card, input drivers(trackpad), etc. Put those on a flash drive.

Give your computer a once over, and make sure you won't miss any documents or anything. If you need something, copy it to the flash drive as well. Don't forget your internet bookmarks and address book and such if you want those.

When you're content with everything going away, just put in the op system CD, and reboot the computer. When it first starts up, tap the F12 key repeatedly until you see it load the Boot Selection screen. This will be a DOS menu that allows you to choose what device you want to boot to. It will list your HD, the CD/DVD drive, network boot, etc. Choose the CD/DVD drive. That will boot to the op system CD. Once that loads, just go through the setup process.

Be sure to tell it to erase the HD before installing. That option will be available when you choose which drive to install Windows on. Otherwise it will install over the top of your current install, and that will be a mess.

If you need any additional help, just start a new thread about it so we don't clutter this up with reinstall posts.

Great Thread! Many tools listed in here I use frequently.

I'm glad to see Hijackthis on here it's tops in my book. You might add this site to the OP. http://hijackthis.de/ I've used it quite frequently. Copy and paste your log (or upload the txt file) and the webpage gives you an online analysis. Some people are hesitant to post information from their computer on a forum and this would be an option for them.

Ugh, just got a redirect virus that CCleaner and MBAM won't fix (at least as I'm currently running them). Will post a hijack log soon.
