why PUM.Proxy doesn't detected by AdwCleaner or Malwarebytes !!

RogueKiller always detect PUM.Proxy that doesn’t detected by AdwCleaner or Malwarebytes or even JRT

i use vpn add-in with Firefox called ““browsec””
add-in website : https://browsec.com
i am the lonely user for this pc that has one profile only ,could u check the log for any further risks !!!
report is attached

We use other tools/logs to check things > http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

PUM = Possible Unwanted Modification … Rkill does not know if you or malware did that modification so it warns

ok here is farbar and adwcleaner report

FRST.txt is not complete.

You need to remove Kaspersky and Hitman Pro if you want to use avast.

Yes on a 2nd AV (Kaspersky), however, Hitman Pro isn’t a resident AV but a multi-engine on-demand scanner. That said Hitman Pro can cause issues with autonomous actions to delete detected files.

removed Kaspersky and Hitman Pro
and attached fresh scan of farbar and Malwarebytes

Did you set this proxy or is it part of browsec ?

FF NetworkProxy: “ftp”, “127.0.0.1”
FF NetworkProxy: “ftp_port”, 49736
FF NetworkProxy: “no_proxies_on”, “localhost, localdomain, .localdomain, local, .local, 127.0.0.1, 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16, www.google-analytics.com
FF NetworkProxy: “ssl”, “127.0.0.1”
FF NetworkProxy: “ssl_port”, 49736
FF NetworkProxy: “type”, 4

well yes this proxy set automatically when i activated browsec addin

That is what RK is detecting and why it is potentially unwanted

so do u think should i remove it !!! what is the possibly risks if i keep it !!!

When you use a vpn like this you are opening your system to proxy addresses

Browsec’s privacy policy discloses that they collect information about your surfing habits when the proxy is switched on and data can be used for monitoring and research, it is also disclosed that after anonymising the data, it can be shared with business partners, a standard way of funding for most unlimited VPN providers, you normally get hassled to upgrade the service to a paid package or, like in this case the company makes money selling your data to outsiders.

but the choice is yours,

thanks Mr.essexboy Mr.Eddy and Mr.Pondus Mr.DavidR “You guys are the best”
browsec seem doing more than collect information about my surfing habits
however i remove this browsec and i replaced with hotspot shield ( which seems worst :stuck_out_tongue: )
one more last 3 thing
1-my avast objects board gets hidden or error massage tells i am not protcted just in case if i temporary disable it for 10 min or more (it works fine after restart )
2-any fixlist for host files !!
3-windows update disabled permanently
attached photo of my avast board and fresh farbar scan

HOST file appears good

==================== Hosts content: ===============================

(If needed Hosts: directive could be included in the fixlist to reset Hosts.)

127.0.0.1 localhost

Try a repair of Avast and see if that resets the GUI

Did you disable windows updates ?

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Remove tools

Download and run Delfix
Select the options as shown

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/delfix.JPG

: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select Remove Java Runtime. Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/javara.JPG

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/CryptoPrevent.JPG

Malwarebytes

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme :wink:

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
