I received that one file, thanks. It only has "[proxy] socket=1904" as contents so cannot really say what created or would us that to set up a proxy there. Did you do all the steps to see hidden files from the link I posted? You renamed that file pskt.ini.old.ini, which suggests you were not able to see the extension (ini) at the end. As an "ini" file it would still function as one, even with "old" in the name. The other file was nt showing as hidden, so not sure why you are not locatign that now. have you been doing scans there in between steps that are making changes? Post back on that before we consider doing some cleanup of what we added there.
I have been seeing SpyBot's files showing as hidden as well lately, though assume this is to keep them from being deleted by accident. There is likely a good reason they are being protected from deletion, suggesting SpyBot was not uninstalled correctly. If you disable all security software, and then reinstall SpyBot, reboot and then uninstall, reboot that may remove all it's files correctly.
I have not preformed any scans just doing what you say and my work. No anti virus at all. I researched for that file now and i still dont see anything containing that name.
yes I followed exactly what you said about searching in hidden files. I have to figure out what security software I have on here. When I did the recovery my micro trend anti virus was gone well partially, I still was seeing files from this. It however isnt working should I do the same and just reinstall.
Yes, but now I am wondering exactly what type of reinstall you did there. The actual recovery partition reinstall would return the system to factory original, which means no software previously installed would remain. This is more looking like an install over the existing Windows, which left personal data, maybe some corrupted installs like these and infection as well.
