So a few days ago my avast notified me that a zip file that i opened had malicious content in it. I cant remember what it said so I looked in the notification tab but it wasnt there. Then I looked in the settings and looked for the logs but i couldnt read them nore did they had any information that would have helped me. Im a bit worried bcs I used to open this zip file before but i wasnt warned by avast. And I dont know what it did since I dont remember what the warning said. Please, I need help ASAP.
Did you unzip the folder’s contents? If so, do you remember where you unzipped the folder’s contents to? If you do and the files are still there, scan the files with Avast and see if you get any messages.
I had unziped the first version of the file but then deleted it and then didn’t unzip the new version of the file, the file was put in quarantine and was deleted there
Where did you get the zip file from?
I got the first unzipped data from a friend and the next one I downloaded from the original site
What site? Website please, and make it non-clickable by changing https to hXXps.
Then you’re probably fine.
the site is called kiddionsmodmenu, I dont recommend visiting the site
Not a valid URL address. hXXps://kiddionsmodmenu.what? .com .org. .ru what?
I can check site without getting infected and show results of scan but need the full url do to so.
its .com
If the its.com is the correct site, then I can visit that without an Avast alert.
See attached image.
Done some checks:
This scan reports some security issues - https://en.internet.nl/site/its.com/2692947/
Nothing found here - https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/2156442af742ac19ceedfa6a56d5a3ff6e0825611d7fa54f606da09e00a7466e?nocache=1
Low Security Risk reported here - https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/its.com - but issues and hardening improvements reported.
Minimal security risk reported here - https://quttera.com/detailed_report/its.com - but what is seen are 639 external links, one or more of these could impact on site security. That said many of them are to its.com/wp-content/plugins which I wouldn’t class as external. Some going to cts.businesswire.com.
These may or may not have an impact on any detection (though as I said I was able to connect without an avast alert.
No I responded to a message above, its kiddionsmodmenu and then .com
OK, those links in my post are sites that you can post the URL into and it does the checks and returns the results.
e.g
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/75066b8daa15a3826c8832d93452c2d9c0fc363f40157945d4aa31944333276a/detection
https://en.internet.nl/site/kiddionsmodmenu.com/2695126/
https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/https/kiddionsmodmenu.com
My whole problem was that I used a File that was a Virus with me not knowing it, now Im looking for a way to find my old warn message avast gave me so I know what the File did so I can further solve the issue.
If it isn’t in History (or you send the file to Quarantine), then it is going to be more difficult to identify and come up with a solution.
Now if you weren’t intending to visit this site (that is a different story) kiddionsmodmenu.com ?
Something is trying to connect to it, exactly what is the question.
e.g.
- Were you intending to visit the site ?
If not start by clearing your browser cache and cookies,including 3rd party cookies and restart your browser.
If that resolves it you should be good to go.
If it doesn’t try running your browser with add-ons disabled.
If that resolves it, have you added or updated any add-ons ?
If so try disabling that add-on - and restart and try again.
If still not resolved and you are using Chrome based browser - try this suggest by Avast Team member ‘lukor’
What about page notifications? Here: chrome://settings/content/notifications ? Do you have all cleared?
Sorry for the late response, I didnt see there was a second page. I dont get why you are talking about my browser, i was saying that i used a zip File for a long time, then avast got a update and suddenly marked it as a virus when i tried to use it and gave me a message on what it did but it dissapeared and i dont know what the zip File did thats why i was asking if there is a way to see what the zip File did. I moved the File into Quarantine but its deleted now.
