My computer gets bogged down almost instantly on the net now. Can't load antivirus sites and thanks to the virus I can't even get to http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe for the program, it times out. If I try to go through a proxy it doesn't allow me to download it (the software encrypts the file name and messes it up!)

Didn't mention whenever i search google now, anything I click goes to go.google.com/xxx and I have to use the cached pages to see anything.

Heres my HJT log

Hi welcome to daniweb,
Have you tried Safe Mode with networking to see if you can access, especially the Malwarebytes' program?
Judy

Can you disable this program?
C:\Program Files\PrivacyView Software\Private Proxy\plink.exe

This is what is probably causing this problem you note here because this is exactly what the program is supposed to do. From what I could find it does the following
I know nothing about this program and I don't know if this is something you use all the time or just tried today but for now anyway it is no help whatsoever. If you use it all the time you are either going to have to uninstall it and then put it back on later or turn it off. If it is something you just installed today then get rid of it. I don't even think that the HJT log is accurate.

I solved this by running Malabyte in Safe Mode.

This program was downloaded after the virus. I was referring to proxy portals like unblockbess.com, pimpmyip.com and anonymouse.org. The software that's on my computer doesn't encrypt the names and was off when I tried to download the file. Per others' stories, this virus keeps you for visiting antivirus sites, getting downloads and the like, which is why I can't download the file (the virus times out the connection with the site).

Can anyone upload the malbytes software to like rapidshare for me so I can get it there?

got someone to send me malwarebytes

cleaned it up!!

That looks like a lot was removed. Can you now do the ESET Online Scanner?
* You will need to use Internet Explorer to to complete this scan.
* You will need to temporarily Disable your current Anti-virus program.
* Be sure the option to Remove found threats is Un-checked at this time (we may have it clean what it finds at a later time), and the option to Scan unwanted applications is Checked.
* When you have completed that scan, a scanlog ought to have been created and located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt. Please post that log for us as directed below.
Reboot the computer. Run a new HJT scan then and save the log and post back here with the ESET log and the new HJT log.
