Virus Proxy http=127.0.0.1:8080;https=127.0.0.1:80
Solved/Closed
Hello everyone,
I’ll explain my “problem.” Yesterday, I was peacefully sitting at my computer after playing a game. I logged out, ran a scan with AdwCleaner to check for any issues, and AdwCleaner found a few problems, fixed them, and then I restarted my computer, but... No internet. I shut everything down.
Today, I turn on my computer, decide to fix the problem, and I realize that the internet wants to “force” me to use a proxy. So, I downloaded the software ZHPCleaner. After analysis and cleanup, everything is working again... But I still cannot access the “network settings” via Internet Explorer.
The message I receive is: “Some settings are managed by your system administrator.”
Just to note, I am the administrator, I did open Internet Explorer by right-clicking - run as administrator, yet it still denies me access to the settings. (I’m attaching a few screenshots before solving the problem)
Operating system: Windows 10 Home
The only problem remaining is that I cannot access the settings, the area remains greyed out...
Thanks in advance o/
