Avast blocking google

Recently the computer was infected with the 2012 Internet Security malware and I have manually removed it to regain some access to the computer.
Avast boot-scan was used to clear out some infections.
Now most websites I visit to, Avast report that google-analytics/ga.js was blocked from being accessed.

Unable to attach log from the infected computer at the moment since I am unable to pass the verification image due to it being blocked. I’m afraid about using a usb/mail to transfer the log to another computer.

Edit: title was edited since google is simply blocked and no redirection happened

On the Host computer and the usb drive run Panda Vaccinate and that should protect them both

anything from google is still blocked. Other than that, the computer seem to run normally as before.

Avast seem to pick up on c_726564.nls as a Rloader-B again after a scan.

Hmm are the blocks in IE, FF or both ?

I’m now able to access google now on internet explorer and google chrome.
Log from OTL.

Log from tddkiller

That replaced the suspect file

How is the computer behaving now ?

Everything seems to be working fine, avast no longer blocks google.
Avast full system scan seem to be picking up on C:\WINDOWS\system32\c_726564.nls as a Rloader-B. Is it really a threat?
Nevermind, Avast can finally remove that file. Thanks.

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:

Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

:Commands [resethosts] [emptytemp] [CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS] [Reboot]

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Remove ComboFix
[*]Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
[*]In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall
(Notice the space between the “x” and “/”)
then click OK

http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee362/Essexboy3/Misc%20screen%20shots/CF_Uninstall-1.jpg

[]Follow the prompts on the screen
[
]A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[
]Click OK.
