Hey people. Since today whenever i start my computer,after ~ 40 seconds avast pop ups that it blocked ttp://reddie.net/3333/SoftwareLite_142253801671892.dll mal from svchost (removed “h” from http for not recognise it as link,as someone can click it by mistake).
After this i saw on this forum some suggestions about downloading Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (64bit) from bleedingcomputer.com and also making a fixlist.txt file like this :
i ran frst.exe(in the same direction) i scan and it didn’t need a restart.
After that i downloaded Adwcleaner from bleeding computer, ran it as admin aswell, and it seemed to clean some stuff, but didn’t see anything about “reddie.net” . anyway i have also the txt files . I can’t upload them here. (how to? :P)
Anyway i restarted the pc and it continue to pop up the same message from avast.
for not reposting again*
i restarted computer and i had this pop up from avast
“ttp://epictory.com/3333/UpgraderCreator_142258482497601.dll” (removed “h” for the same reason as previously)
edit 2
the FIRST log of adwCleaner that founded some stuff…since then i did another 2 scans without founding anything
After this i saw on this forum some suggestions about downloading Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (64bit) from bleedingcomputer.com[b] and also making a fixlist.txt file like this :[/b]
then i guess you did see the WARNING about not run the fix as it is made for that specific computer
essexboy will create a fix based on your logs when he is online … may be a few hours
Start with removing Chrome.
Malware has changed it into a developer version that makes it possible to install all kinds of malicious things with you noticing it.
Maybe in a few hours? Anyway i did see that but any person who had problem didn’t send any log in the first place.They just said that they had that problem (pop up about reddie.net) and he always said that answer.He even used the same lines
And no,i dont have chrome. Also no such a addon-plugin for firefox and IE
If you read that contants of that fix you see it is very specific in what it does/removes, so it can’t be a general fix for something.
Lets hope it didn’t damage anything.
You didn’t see the attached logs from the post(s) you mentioned because, looking at your post count, you were not a forum member than and/or not logged in.
You have to be logged in to see attachments.
it made my computer 20 sec to start and it showed a black screen in the beggining,i was terrified.
By the way ,at the previous -wrong (i recognise i did something stupid;p) - fixlist.txt i didnt click “fix” . Just scan. And afterwards i just ran the adwcleaner. I dont think that this messed up my system ,right? (hope so)
-Also until now no pop up by avast- last time o start up my computer before the fix from FRST64 was showing another one url (neither epictory or reddie).
Here i have to make this question.How all this happens (first time in my life)? i try to understand what happened with the computer (and many ppl out there these days),how they infected. And what all these things do ? Thank you anyway
Many times it is not possible to (easy) backtrack where something came from.
If I have to guess, I would say it came with something you installed for one of the games you seem to play.
Two other things I would like to comment on:
I see OpenOffice.
I suggest to remove it and get LibreOffice.
OpenOffice is frankly not maintained anymore.
I also see Winrar.
That is not free and I suggest to replace it with 7zip.
