Seems to me there scanners are wrong,
Sitelock shows no issues, Scans every 24hs and the most active pages.
Using the virustotal API no issues Scans every 24hs and scans the pages active in real time when a users visits the page
the page gets scanned to make sure the content is safe for the user.Total Scans: 61 Problems Found: 0 Scan Details CLEAN MX: clean site MalwarePatrol: clean site ZDB Zeus: clean site Tencent: clean site AutoShun: unrated site ZCloudsec: clean site PhishLabs: unrated site K7AntiVirus: clean site Quttera: clean site Spam404: clean site AegisLab WebGuard: clean site MalwareDomainList: clean site ZeusTracker: clean site zvelo: clean site Google Safebrowsing: clean site Kaspersky: unrated site BitDefender: clean site Dr.Web: clean site ADMINUSLabs: clean site C-SIRT: clean site CyberCrime: clean site Websense ThreatSeeker: clean site VX Vault: clean site Webutation: clean site Trustwave: unrated site Web Security Guard: clean site G-Data: clean site Malwarebytes hpHosts: clean site Wepawet: clean site AlienVault: clean site Emsisoft: clean site Malc0de Database: clean site SpyEyeTracker: clean site malwares.com URL checker: clean site Phishtank: clean site Malwared: clean site Avira: clean site OpenPhish: clean site Antiy-AVL: clean site SCUMWARE.org: clean site FraudSense: clean site Opera: clean site Comodo Site Inspector: clean site Malekal: clean site ESET: clean site Sophos: unrated site Yandex Safebrowsing: clean site SecureBrain: clean site Malware Domain Blocklist: clean site Blueliv: clean site Netcraft: unrated site PalevoTracker: clean site CRDF: clean site ThreatHive: clean site ParetoLogic: clean site Rising: clean site URLQuery: unrated site StopBadware: unrated site Sucuri SiteCheck: clean site Fortinet: clean site Baidu-International: clean siteManually scanning with other scanners.
AVG Threat labs nothing found.

No hits on google safebrowsing.
Quttera nothing found.I will contact them and submit a ticket.
you may have some adware crap that is trying to call home
see instructions here https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
scroll down to Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and attach the two diagnostic logs here in this topic
Im very sure i dont have any adware. I pay for malwarebytes and its running all time plus i did clean install a week ago with it running 24/7 unless it got past active.
no security program have 100% detection … we see that evry day, from user with both antivirus and Malwarebytes
And Farbar is a diagnostic tool …
does that IP belong to something related to Cybefox ? … if not i would do a check, it wont hurt
Hi bcooper2526
Found the particular threat from that IP via scumware and this is it: Win32/SoftPulse.R potentially unwanted application.
See the removal routine for this: Win32/SoftPulse.R potentially unwanted application:
http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-win32-softpulse-i-pup/
But maybe it is advisable that one of our qualified malware removers will guide in the removal of this PUP.
A PUP detection is a potential unwanted program, especially when it came unto your machine unintentionally and without user intervention.

Ran the IP (54.191.36.226) at scumware and found several domains with the same IP
had “Possible Unwanted Program” (PUP). Please follow Pondus"s advice and post as directed.
FYI, having MBAM Premium and avast does not create a vacuum against malware or infections.
Nothing is 100%. You can have almost everything there is and still get infected.
Did full scan with all them nothing.
bcooper2526 since you have done a full system scan with all of them and no threats were discovered. May I ask you what antivirus software you are using before Avast? If you were using a different antivirus in the past i.e. norton, mcafee, and etc did you use it’s uninstaller utility after uninstallation before installing Avast? Are you using any add-ons such as McAfee Site-Advisor? Why are you using Cyberfox and not Google Chrome?
- None like i said i just installed windows 8.1 on this pc a week ago only installed avast free and malware bytes premium.
- Chrome wont work for me i tried it many times sites will break and not display correctly. Twitch tv will keep breaking and coming up with dns error. No other browser will do that chrome just wont work. The only addons i used for it were adblock plus, and BetterTTV.
Try doing this. Clear all of your browsers history and close all of the browser you have. I think you have have issues with your DNS which is preventing you to see some websites and causing issues with it. Try doing this and follow the instructions https://www.whatsmydns.net/flush-dns.html
Basically Cleaning-up DNS cache helps you load websites that you were not able to access before, maybe due to some DNS issues.
Maybe i just had alot issues with chrome working correctly and i was on stable release. Not really sure what it was ill install chrome it will work for awhile then problems will pop up like dns with twitch.tv only and then i had twitch stop displaying the site was just blue text like flash or html was not loading.
This is what diagnostic tools are made fore … take away the guess work
Just follow the instructions that I mentioned? I too was having some issues with watching programmes via online and now it’s not happening anymore. You can see the details on my signature to see what I have installed in my computer.
I disabled web scanning works fine now problem solved.
Tried chrome again i found it slower than cyberfox and i hate ui now.
Ill keep using cyberfox.
