Hey guys, have run into a bit of trouble. I have been using my (spare) personal laptop for all school related matters recently, but was not able to use it at full power due to internal blocks within the School WiFi network. A friend of mine recommended a proxy called Ultrasurf which I have found all too late is a system overwriting piece of shit. So I need a bit of help.
1. A better proxy
2. A way to nuke Ultrasurf with extreme prejudice

I am running an AVG scan to seek and destroy the threat now, I hope that is enough.

2. Revo Unistaller is really good at uninstalling programs that have sunk their roots into your system or uninstall but leave behind pieces.

You might want to try Malwarebytes with whatever this "orginal threat" is. It picks up some things virus scanners don't.

I think the best thing you can do with finding a better proxy is spend some time learning how to use OpenSSH and Socks. You can set up your own proxy server using Amazon's AWS service (which is free for the first year) and have it up and running, then SSH to it using PuTTy with a dynamic forwarding command (which sends all internet traffic to the AWS server via a local port on your machine specified by you). Finally, you'd then configure your browser to USE the proxy in question, which is as simple as pointing it at the local port.

It sounds rougher than it is.

This is one of my favorite resources. If you're not familiar with Linux, download an Ubuntu Live CD and boot from it, then fool around with openSSH. It's much easier than you think, but it takes a couple hours of messing around. http://chamibuddhika.wordpress.com/2012/03/21/ssh-tunnelling-explained/
