    Hello all,

    I am glad to have become a member of the forum! As a avid computer user, I've always made sure to browse safely using Firefox inconjuction with "add-on" scripts to prevent such attacks... but recently; I've been experiencing strange actions from All web browsers that I have installed on my laptop. Here is the issue:
    I use both Firefox and Google chrome and ever time I try I attempt to log onto www.amazon.com, facebook.com, I get this strange Apache server page / CentOS!? The message: "This page is used to test the proper operation of the Apache HTTP server after it has been installed. If you can read this page it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly. Apache 2 Test Page| powered by CentOS" Personally i do not use my computer as a server/host machine. Also, when i try going to or depositefiles.com, I am given a forbidden message. :cry

    The odd thing about the entire issue is that when I use a free proxy anonymizer to hide my ip, Both sites work perfectly fine. :confused

    I thank you very much for assisting me with this odd issue. Here is my log file and a picture-link (http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/5029/33119517.jpg) of the error page posted.
    Thanks

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

    Pleases follow the instructions in the below link:

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

    • **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.


    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:


    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:

    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this aother user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
    4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:

    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.

    I'm sorry but I did not request a HJT log as it is of very little use to us and does not indicate any problems.

    Please follow the instructions already provided including how to attach logs to your posts, and get me these logs:
    SAS
    MBAM
    ComboFix
    C:\MGLogs.zip --> from running the C:\MGTools.exe
