Today when I turned on my computer just about every webpage in Google Chrome is getting blocked. I ran a scan with zero viruses detected.
I have looked over similar forum posts and had to download mozilla firefox to download and scan using Farbar tool.
I was unsure of what to do after the scan on the forums. I have attached the two farbar logs? Could someone please help me?
Did you add the following Hosts entry?
Hosts: 128.184.225.250 secureaccess.deakin.edu.au
[*]Step #1 Fix with FRST

[*]Re-run FRST.exe and click Fix;
[*]Note: If FRST advises there is a new updated version to be downloaded, do so/allow this.[]After the completion, a log will be produced;
[]Attach the log in your next reply.[/list]
Just doing this now, it is spending a lot of time (Farbar) deleting Temporary files. the green bar that runs along the bottom isn’t moving, (typing on another device).
Hey its finished only took 2hrs. Everything seems to be working fine. Avast is not popping up every two seconds blocking all webpages. Do I need to still do the host thing?
ALso thanks so much for your kind help
