I installed Ultrasurf VPN on my PC. After a while, I decided to dispose of it. I checked the control panel so I could uninstall it but it wasn't there. I then did a normal delete in my file manager because it came as a winrar file. Problem is, I can't connect to the internet ever since. A friend advised that I should format my PC but i'm hesitating. Is there any other thing I could do or is format the only option. I'm using windows 10.

Hi

You have not deleted it. To delete it did you try programmes and functions?

To help you and prescribe the remedy, I must make a diagnostic and to do so, I require a report.

1. Open this link and download ZHPDiag :
https://nicolascoolman.eu
(Don't be alarmed is the site is in French, it sometimes happens, the tool will take your system language and allow the download if you get a warning message, ignore it.) Click on the download button

2. Save the file on your Desktop.

3. Double click on ZHPDiag.exe and follow the installation instructions.

(For Vista, Win 7 and 8 users, click right to ensure you execute with admin right)

4. Double click on the short cut ZHPDiag on your Destktop.

5 Click on scan
Wait for the tool to finished (maybe a long time)

6. Close ZHPDiag.

7. To transmit the report, click on this link :

http://www.tinyupload.com/index.php

8. Search the directory where you installed ZHPDiag (usually C:\desktop\zhpdiag.txt).

9. Copy the url link obtained from tinyupload and paste it here in your reply.

Hi Ogumba,

Thank you for the report.

I have found several malware in your system including a Hijacker.Proxy

Actually there are many malware in your systems. You are now using Windows Defender but there are traces of other anti-viruses software which create conflicts with Defender.

I am a CCM moderator and I must uphold the CCM Charter. I have found on your system a hacking tool, able to hack Microsoft operating system and software. I found the source of your issue. Under normal circumstances, I would be able to help you solve your issue in a jiffy. But, because the hacking tool, I can't and will not.

I trust that you understand.

Sorry

I really need this issue to be resolved, Sir. The hacktool is a virus, i think. Windows defender is always detecting it and once removed, it pops up again. Really don't know where it came from. Really would like you to assist me, thanks.

Have you purchased a licence for your Windows operating system?

Have you purchased a licence for your Microsoft Office suite?

Yes definitively! It is the hacking software which I was talking to you about.

What you have deleted is a virus. The virus was created to overcome illegal copies of Microsoft operating systems and office software. Since you told me that you did purchase the licences, you should not worry.

Should you now experience some difficulties with Microsoft software let me know.

Now, please tell me if the initial issue for which you posted on this forum is resolved that is about ultrasurf-vpn.

Regards

If you format the PC you will lose all of your data.

Let me study your report again and I shall return to you.

Got it.

Again you have downloaded infected stuff, one of those thing hacked your internet connection intending to crack or break security measures and penetrate your computer.

I have noticed that you download a lot from torrent sites. I must warn you that torrents are not safe, as a matter of fact it's very risky. Torrents are infested by malware. Torrents are hackers' and pirates favourite vehicle for their evil deeds.

Now here is you will do. Be very attentive as to not make any mistakes.

Click right on you windows icon, lower corner of your screen and click on RUN.

Type: regedit and click ok

In the left panel, double-click the following:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows>
CurrentVersion>Internet Settings

In the right panel, locate and delete the entries:
~vyjbuiv = "dword:0000049f"
ProxyOverride = "local"
ProxyServer = "127.0.0.1:9666"



In the left panel, double-click the following:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows>
CurrentVersion>Internet Settings
In the right panel, locate the entry:
ProxyEnable = "1"
Right-click on the value name and choose Modify. Change the value data of this entry to:
0

Close Registry Editor.

In your control panel / security

Insure that all is set to default settings.

Yes! You need a better antivirus but an antivirus will not stop you from downloading malware. You must be very careful. I suggest that you use Kaspersky antivirus, scan you machine and delete files such as HKTL_USURF.

Good luck

Hi

Great! Don't worry about vyjbuiv = "dword:0000049f

You issue should now be resolved, all you need to do is to reset your internet settings to default or reconfigure your internet connection. In your control panel / security, insure that all is set to default settings.

Remember what I have said about Torrents, they are like swimming in crocodile infested waters.

Let me know and I shall return tomorrow.

It was really nice working with you.
