Can someone tell me what is the highlighted item in red?



Thank you.

We usually require a bit more explanation as to why you are running HiJackThis in the first place. HiJackThis is NOT a clean up tool, it is a scanner tool used to determine if any malware exists on a system. It is not recommended unless a person is experiencing specific problems with a computer which have not been corrected by using the methods noted here
and then directed to do so and post a log.

Hi. Every day I do 70% of the things that are mentioned in in your link. I run Hijackthis from time to time to see if any service is there that I don't recognize, and that could be there but I cannot see if it could be involved with some programs that I've recently installed. My computer works fine with no known problems. The highlighted item was not on the list lets say three weeks ago. I've installed and removed some programs since then, and I just wanted to identify the highlited item. Can someone tell me what it is, or give any other advice? Thank you.

Since this is an incomplete log I really cannot advise.

Something you installed may have changed the ProxyOverride setting in IE. The setting as it reads above is not malicious in nature, since it points to the Local Machine (your computer). You can have HJT fix this entry if your desire.
