499727 2006-11-16 07:32:00 When I try to connect to my router from my web browser (10.1.1.1) I am getting a page that has some sort of Arabic wrinting, then it says "access to the requested url is not allowed."
At the bottom of the page is " cache3.jed.isu.net.sa

Is this a virus or similair?

499728 2006-11-16 08:40:00 Certainly looks suspiciously like it. Have you got a reputable antispyware program? Also have a look at your host file which is located windows\system32\drivers\etc\ and is called hosts. Make sure there isn't anything with the routers IP listed. Entries with 127.0.0.1 are OK.

499729 2006-11-17 07:21:00 Yep, am running AV and firewall, Microsoft Anti-spyware, have scanned with AdWare, Spybot, Spyware Doctor. Its still there. peejay (1396)
499730 2006-11-17 18:26:00 Checked the hosts file and nothing suspicious there. I checked the Firefire settings and found that it was now configured to connect via a proxy, 212.138.64.143 which is a site in the United Arab Emirates! I can change back to a direct internet connection and then I can access the router but when I close Firefox and re-open it, the setting has changed back to the proxy one. I have run scans with all the antispyware I can think of, any ideas? peejay (1396)
499731 2006-11-17 19:00:00 You haven't installed a proxy service? What other software have you installed in the last couple of weeks? I assume IE also has the same problems as Firefox in accessing the router?

Have you tried using HijackThis (www.majorgeeks.com)? Post a log back here if you need help with it.

499732 2006-11-17 19:20:00 One other point, you mention Microsoft Anti Spyware. This has long ago been superseded by Microsoft Windows Defender. Uninstall MSAS and install Defender. linw (53)
499733 2006-11-17 19:31:00 Yep, am running AV and firewall, Microsoft Anti-spyware, have scanned with AdWare, Spybot, Spyware Doctor. Its still there.

Adware? Or ADAware SE Personal?? Big difference.
Run Hijackthis too.

499734 2006-11-18 03:04:00 Yep, have upgraded to Defender and sorry, Its AdAware Personal that I am using. Here is the HJT log....

499735 2006-11-18 03:36:00 Going through my post above, I found in the log this setting,

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings,ProxyServer = 212.138.64.143:80

which contained the suspect url. I removed it from the reg but after a re-boot the problem still occurs, still getting the proxy thing in both Firefox and IE.
