Too limited a search in the registry (reason we haven’t got this fixed yet). As to the reason why your protection software doesn’t fix this is they do not see this as a malware issue; the adware is using standard OS settings but has locked you to a IP web address that sends out malware.


Run a search with FRST.

  • Right click on FRST on your desktop and select “Run as Administrator…” When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Type browserupdatecheck:wpad into the Search Box.
  • Press the Search Registry button.
  • It will produce a log called search.txt or SearchReg.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
  • Please attach the log file back here.
