Hi,
I use dialup connection to access internet. For the last few weeks, whenever
I switch on my computer (Toshiba P4 laptop with 512MB), I get a pop-up asking
me - "You or a program p.free-proxy.net has requested to access internet,
chose the connection to dial".

Then, if I do not chose to dial up, I keep getting the message repeatedly. I
suspect it to be a trojan, but I am not able to remove it even after using
updated versions of 'Adaware SE', 'Spybot 1.3', and 'Norton Antivirus
Professional Edition.

Please help. Thanks in advance.
 
1) Download the following two items...

Trend Sysclean Package
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp

Latest Trend signature files.
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp

Create a directory.
On drive "C:\"
(e.g., "c:\New Folder")
or the desktop
(e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\lipman\Desktop\New Folder")

Download SYSCLEAN.COM and place it in that directory.
Download the Trend Pattern File by obtaining the ZIP file.
For example; lpt369.zip

Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place the contents in the same directory as
SYSCLEAN.COM .

2) Disable System Restore

3) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode then shutdown as many applications as possible.
4) Using the Trend Sysclean utility, perform a Full Scan of your platform and
clean/delete any infectors found
5) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
6) Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any System Restore preferences,
(e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~ 600MB),
7) Reboot your PC.
8) Create a new Restore point

I have a system that won't browse properly,, pings to the DNS servers
are successful only half the time, sites time out, system shuts down
due to RPC service termination (but have run tools which show no Sasser
or Blaster worms).

I have run full scans with current updates of Spybot S&D, AdAware and
Microsoft Antispyware. All 3 came out completely clean.

I too have a message on bootup saying a prog has asked for
home.played.co.uk.

I am currently trying to troubleshoot it.

Any ideas?
