OK. I had a pretty serious malware infestation with multiple trojans etc. I've run SpyHunter, Malwarebytes, McAfee, and SpyDoctor. Between the 4 of them, they seem to have found and eliminated everything except something that none of them can seem to find. Here's the symptoms: IE opens spontaneously and usually goes to a SystemSecurity malware site. However, I have disabled IE and put 0.0.0.0 in as the LAN proxy. IE still opens spontaneously, but of course can't find any sites. The cross-browser problem I am having (IE, Safari, and Firefox) is that certain sites--most sites that have to do with security or malware, plus some seemingly random others (like bank of america) wont load. The status bar says "Done" with blank white pages (Info on Page Source is also empty). Ive deleted cookies, caches, everything. Ive also checked the HOST file and nothing seems to be there except localhost. Ive reset the TCI/IP register, rechecked with all the spyware while offline, and nothing. Ive tried several other things too that I dont remember at this point. I really dont want to have to re-format and reinstall--it will be a *Major* headache. So, any takers for suggestions???
Thank you in advance.
