wpad.nat/wpad.dat annoyance (logs included)

Viruses and worms
1

So I’m getting this annoying alert every now and again, and it comes of frequently when skype is running.

Here are the log files as requested in the tutorial.
I think this may have happened after I messed around with the DNS on my PS3.

Can you post MBAM logs? Also Adwcleaner would be handy! I’ll get Pondus to get someone.

Balls I forgot to get the MBAM log, I used ADW cleaner earlier and it got rid of two things, and I haven’t got a notification from avast telling me about wpad since, fingers crossed it’s gone.

EDIT: Here is the MBAM log.

EDIT 2: Nope, Just got the warning there again.

here you go.

6

Are the alerts still happening ?

7

Still occuring, But I’ll turn skype off and see if it stops.

8

Also do you use a router to connect to the net

9

I got no alerts until I began using skype, otherwise I was fine.
Yes, I do use a router.

On doing a bit of research, I seen someone talking about skypes updates and changing of contact’s ip’s or something, after I turned these updates off, the alerts have stopped.

Do you have a link for that please or an explanation of what you did
