Lately I have been getting “threat detected” popups from avast (usually two at once) from various sources like anythicago and others. Usually the process is svchost.exe or chrome.exe. What should I run to fix this?
Thanks

Thanks, I am running MBAM and then FRST and will post the logs when they are done.

Good. How is the situation now?
Nothing has popped up yet, but there was a pop up this morning before I ran zoek. Something like easydriverstar was the source. I’ll post again if another comes up.
Okay, let me know, so we can continue or close this case.
