Got a disinfection on the workbench. Customer had tried to remove it himself and did a good effort -- HitmanPro, ADWcleaner, MBAM, SAS, JRT, Rogue Killer and he's got KAV as his AV. Nothing was detecting it. From what he was describing, it sounded like a proxy hijack and audio ads and I confirmed that.
FWIW, the main culprit was "LocaProxy.exe" and "LocaProxyTracker.exe" and standard proxy settings. So add those to your D7II autokill list.
And clear the Proxy settings in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
Here's the thing. In the cleanup process, I pull up as much info as I can on these ones so I can feed it into my GFI MAV profile and D7II's kill lists and so on. In the image, the highlighted one was the main bad guy but I'm seeing the other two what is not being detected by the same scanners but, at least, are being recognized at VirusTotal.
This is the Tasks section of Autoruns:
Goes to show that, as good as Kaspersky is, it doesn't catch everything.
