Malware proxy activation on IE and Firefox

I have had an infection that seems to be activating a proxy on my internet explorer and firefox, redirecting to 127.0.0.1 - and despite all my efforts in trying to remove it using antiviruses and various fixes to disable the proxy, it is always coming back.

 

It leads to random words being highlighted and showing MONKEYTIZE adverts on mouseover. 

 

Using MBAM has shown the same 4 files, and appears to delete them successfully after each scan but after a short period of time the redirection to a proxy server appears to occur again. (Attached are two logs of MBAM scans that show the exact same files despite me quarantining them each time). I have also tried to change the LAN settings on internet explorer - this works, but also only temporarily as the malware seems to enable the proxy shortly after.

 

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Please make sure you have created that new system restore point before you continue!

======================

Download and run rkill (post the log):
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/dl/132/

======================

Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same folder as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe.
Run FRST.exe/FRST64.exe and click Fix only once and wait
The tool will create a log (Fixlog.txt) in the folder, please post it to your reply.

======================

Please download AdwCleaner from HERE or HERE to your desktop.

  • Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
    Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator
  • Click on the Scan button.
  • AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
  • When it's done you'll see: Pending: Please uncheck elements you don't want removed.
  • Now click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R0].txt) will open in Notepad for review.
  • Look over the log especially under Files/Folders for any program you want to save.
  • If there's a program you may want to save, just uncheck it from AdwCleaner.
  • If you're not sure, post the log for review. (all items found are either adware/spyware/foistware)
  • If you're ready to clean it all up.....click the Clean button.
  • After rebooting, a logfile report (AdwCleaner[s0].txt) will open automatically.
  • Copy and paste the contents of that logfile in your next reply.
  • A copy of that logfile will also be saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder.
  • Items that are deleted are moved to the Quarantine Folder: C:\AdwCleaner\Quarantine
  • To restore an item that has been deleted:
  • Go to Tools > Quarantine Manager > check what you want restored > now click on Restore.

Next..................

thisisujrt.gif Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

  • Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
  • Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
  • The tool will open and start scanning your system.
  • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
  • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
  • Post the contents of JRT.txt into your next message.

Next.........

If you're using Malwarebytes 2.0, please run a Threat Scan
Click on settings > Detection and Protection > Non-Malware Protection > PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) detections > Make sure it's set to Treat detections as malware
Same for PUM (Potentially Unwanted Modifications)
