Hey, I’ve done the first two steps and I was looking at the fixlist.txt before I run FRST. I wanted to check with you on what it’s going to do because it looks like it might get rid of things I need/want/use and I want to confirm whether or not these are infected or if you’re just getting rid of them because you think they have vulnerabilities.
For example, I’ve intentionally set up that proxy server config and entered manual DNS entries on FF because I had built a CentOS box and was testing squid, which I’ve mentioned here in this thread. I have intentionally not updated past WinAmp 2.91 because I don’t want all the bloatware that came with later versions. It looks like your proposed fix will remove some of my plugins. I’m not aware of PUTTY.RND being a problem file (unless it’s infected)? Etc.
I ask all this because a previous fix done in this thread removed the power saving feature client for my Buffalo TeraStation, which made it a real PITA to access my NAS for a bit (and scared the crap out of me for a moment) until I figured out what happened and turned off the power saving feature. Unless there’s a vulnerability with that feature you know about I would’ve preferred to leave that. Etc.
