    Sudden Internet-access denied-winxp

    After having seen NASA 360-marsvideo in chrome a program interfered and wanteg to clean. chrome-cleaner or similar. after i could start the video i clicked ok but it then removed it(it seemed already installed)..... was puzzled. when starting firefox again all of a sudden no more internet access. tfc-cleaning did not help. maybe i should make a FF-cookie-cleaning. or restore. or older system-restore point.
    I am now on my backup-drive.
    Regarding the video-problem. After that i realized that i am running flashplayer but videos now need html5. I can switch with youtube videoplayer Firefox-addon.
    For those interested: Until Firefox 43 when switching default html5-player on youtube to flashplayer one could see 3doptions and change viewing options of 3dstereovideos, this is still true for actual Firefox 44 but not with winxp(if i dont err i am examening this on a second pc with FF44)
    And this is the reason its highest time to update to at least win7. I am stereoscopist.
    see here. www.3dmusic.ch
    My pc could also be infected since i once clicked on wrong buttons on a torrent-site(storing large panorama-videofile) when people didnt tell me which button is right.... weird not warning them.

    After resetting firefox in the wrong working admin-account, no more internet access in both accounts...!
    What now. recover systempartition. I should at least save actual favorites.

    In those cases, affected users should uninstall Nvidia Forceware Network Access Manager from the system to solve the issues described.
    Easy fix.

    But i didnt find it. instead i removed Nvidia geforce experience.
    then i equalized windows firewall-settings-exceptions and lan. didnt help
    something is blocked. maybe getting rid of spybot, malwarebytes and even removing ms security essentials?
    I have a systempartitions-backup 6 weeks old which would help at the end. favorites saved.
    i will install this nvidia-program and deinstall with revo.
    systemexplorer does list nvidia-drivers as unknown......always.
    my fazit: never click too quickly.
    i clicked chrome temp cleaner when it popped up. but i didnt remember having it installed.
    but i remember when i had to donwload a large panorama from a utorrent-site that i "installed" the wrong stuff first...
    idiots not telling where to trigger the right button.

    Better recover than trying to repair drivers right? MOBO or graphics-drivers.

    I remember weakly when having a similar problem that i could solve by unchecking a switch in Lan/Network-settings. most probably discussed here. Hope if will find it in my files.

    SOLVED!

    As i predicted and described: It was, most probably during the utorrent-installation and download of a huge panorama(procedured for the first time) i have got 26 malware.
    Inbetween all the search-i also deactivated certain settings in startbox(msconfig)-i remembered trains general security-procedures which i dont do as often as i should(weekly).
    and malwarebyte found them and removed everything: BINGO.
    among them were: getprivate, proxihighjacker(hidden in registry):
    PUP.Optional.GetPrivate, HKLM\SOFTWARE\GETPRIVATE, , [15cb0a538415d75f39863c9f4ab97a86],
    PUP.Optional.Privoxy, HKLM\SOFTWARE\SECUREWEBCHANNEL, , [4c942d304b4ef5412588dc6a3fc515eb],
    PUP.Optional.Privoxy, HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\PRIVOXYSERV ICE, , [419fec711980ce68f0d539b7ef141de3],
    PUP.Optional.Spigot, HKU\S-1-5-21-1614895754-343818398-1177238915-1004\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\SEARCHSCOPES\{C317F81D-3F9E-4224-AD6F-9A6AD1DB0428}, , [776984d9cfcafb3bee57f802d52e867a],

    this shocked me a bit: it i had read its naming i should have found out......
    PUP.Optional.Privoxy, HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\PRIVOXYSERV ICE|ImagePath, "C:\Programme\Gamma Task Menager\privoxy.exe" --service, , [419fec711980ce68f0d539b7ef141de3]

    the list is longer.
    maybe still better revovering the old backup?

    Beside this does TFC have to be run with administrators rights or in resp. account? it will also run in restricted.
