Still getting notifications.

TwinHeadedEagle · 2015-06-30T18:32:22.000Z

Is it only svchost now?

system · 2015-06-30T20:24:17.000Z

Looks like that is correct.

system · 2015-06-30T20:38:05.000Z

Here are the latest Farbar scans.

I also now got a notification when I ran Farbar citing it as the process location.

TwinHeadedEagle · 2015-07-01T06:37:44.000Z

Let’s try with this, I want you to reset IE settings.

system · 2015-07-01T11:52:48.000Z

Reset IE and still getting notifications.

C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\avastui.exe, svchost, and also any .exe that I run causes a notification.

Attached fresh scans.

And by the way thank you for all your help on this, I know you guys are swamped.

TwinHeadedEagle · 2015-07-01T16:16:00.000Z

Can you uninstall Avast and then install it again?

system · 2015-07-01T17:49:22.000Z

Uninstalled then re-installed Avast and still getting notifications.

Fresh scans attached

Applied fix, still getting notifications.

Attached fresh scans post fix as well.

TwinHeadedEagle · 2015-07-02T01:08:15.000Z

Stand by until Avast team check this, it could be a false detection.

system · 2015-07-02T02:00:33.000Z

Will do, thanks.

TwinHeadedEagle · 2015-07-03T07:34:22.000Z

Please run Windows Update and install all updates. Then tell me do you still have Avast warnings.

system · 2015-07-03T13:52:56.000Z

Ran and installed all updates, restarted computer and still got notifications.

Decided to check for updates again and their was one more there.

Installed update, restarted computer…NO NOTIFICATIONS!!

Looks like that might have taken care of it.

TwinHeadedEagle · 2015-07-03T15:27:43.000Z

Yes, that is the fix

Post-cleanup procedures:

Download DelFix by Xplode and save it to your desktop.

[*]Run the tool by right click on the
http://www.imgdumper.nl/uploads6/51a5ce45267c1/51a5ce45263de-delfix.png
icon and Run as administrator option.
[*]Make sure that these ones are checked:

[]Remove disinfection tools
[]Purge system restore
[*]Reset system settings

[*]Push Run and wait until the tool completes his work.
All tools we used should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:[B]DelFix.txt)

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.

system · 2015-07-03T18:58:07.000Z

So I guess I spoke too soon.

Still getting notifications but far less frequent. A few when I restart, and a few here and there while on the internet.

Not nearly the amount I was getting before so we seem to be getting close. I dunno.

Attached recent scans.

system · 2015-07-06T19:37:26.000Z

Still getting notifications.

FRST search

Once again we shall use FRST for additional checks. Re-run FRST/FRST64 by double-clicking:

[*]Copy browserupdatecheck;wpad;wpad.browserupdatecheck.in;browserupdatecheck.in into the Search: field in FRST then click the Search Registry button.
[*]FRST will search your computer for files and when finished it will produce a log Search.txt in the same directory the tool is run.
[*]Please attach it to your reply.

system · 2015-07-07T14:15:43.000Z

Performed search and attaching results.

Again thanks for your continued help with this.
