Attack of skegnessasc - Infection URL:Mal

Dear Avast,

Could someone please help me get rid of this infection of “hxxp://skegnessasc.org/accounts/restorefunction.css” please?
It pops up like every 10 minutes on my screen where Avast is blocking this Malware infection.

Kind regards,

Essexboy,

I think it stopped the warnings ;D Great!! Now I should be able to record stuff again on the desktop without those things poping up.

I’ve also attached the two logs you’ve asked. If there is anything else I need to do then please let me know :slight_smile:

Kind regards,
Kevke99

Use the computer as normal and if all is well tomorrow let me know and I will tidy up

It works like a charm!! ;D Thank you so much!

In that case methinks I will send you on your merry way :slight_smile:

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Download and run Delfix

: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
