Thats a for sure - if safe mode with networking works we will be able to do a faster fix.  MBAM will not get the proxy changes or the malware folder - but it should get the running processes ;D

I'll watch this closely, so I will not always need to call you this soon.  ;D

Thanks guys.  I'm actually in the Middle East so British time is only 2 hours behind.  I'm too tired now to concentrate on essexboy's suggestions, but I will give it a try first thing in the morning and let you know how it works out.  Thanks again for all your help.  I really appreciate it!

Can you think of some way around this before I take it in to my computer guy? 

BTW: don't take it to a "computer guy" if by any means this is dealer you are talking about. He is most probably not a malware expert, he won't invest any time (and that is surely needed), he'll tell you it can't be fixed and he is going to sell you some unneeded hardware like new HDD and tells you to reinstall Windows...  ;D

essexboy will get this straight with your co-operation.

I was able to run MBAM on my desktop and here's the log.  I'll have to post it in a few sections since it's entirety exceeds the 10000 limit.

On second thought, there were 806 infected items (I think) and the log was 53 pages long in Word.  If you really want to see it all I will post it, but otherwise I'm not sure it's worth the time and effort.
Thanks!

Wooo Hoooo !

What a list.  8)

I see you had MBAM delete everything. Okay. Save the log to disk in case essex wants it to take a look.

Did you run MBAM in Safe Mode or in Normal Mode?
If you can run it in Normal Mode, please run it again - and again post the log, please. Should be somewhat shorter now.

I restarted the computer normally and ran the program again.  It didn't find anything.  Here's the log:

However, I still can't run Firefox.  I keep getting that same pesky message.

Well, the log is one point for us.  ;D

What is the message?

About the proxy?

Check FF settings, make sure they look like the screenshot.

However, even if we manage to get you online again: still follow essexboy's instructions and come back here! I'm no expert on malware, and it is vital to close this thread with essexboy!
(Many users just vanish too early and we'll see them back here in a week or two and start all over...)

Doing well  ;D  The IFEO's were a major part of the problem with programmes not running properly

I should imagine there are still some miscreant folders hiding in the user folders

YEAH!!! That did it. We can now get on the Internet using Firefox!  As you suggested, I'll run the other 2 programs essexboy suggested.  Thanks again!
