Avast is blocking sights im not visting

I recently moved houses and my computer had been disconnected from the internet for about 8 hours during the move I hooked it up then went into town to buy a wireless usb wifi receiver for my computer because I have a desktop. Once I got connected to the internet my computer had begun to run freakishly slow and then avast start popping up 6 or 7 or sometimes 20 url blocks at a time it will also say that ieplore.exe has stopped working when I was downloading bf3 on origin and whenever I launched steam I have run scans with Malware Bytes SUPERAntiSpyware and Avast! and it still will randomly come up when im not even using the internet that it is blocking url’s the file location says it is in C:\ProgramFiles.…\iexplore.exe so i went into the internet explorer folder and deleted everything hoping that it would make it so the worm couldn’t take control of ie (I use Chrome) but even that didn’t work so I have finally come here to ask my question any replies are appreciated thanks!

Edit: noticed something new when I open my volume mixer it shows microsoft feeds synchronization,Mcrosoft DirectPlay8 Server, WIndows picture acquistion wizard, windows media player logagent (Pretty sure thats a virus but I cant find it to delete) CTF Loader, microsoft connection man…, and FI XMAPI 1.0 MAPI Repair Tool

Edit: One last thing I have watched my storage on my ssd drop from 10gb free to 200MB free and it is still dropping could someone also help me with deleting these mystery files that have installed?

Follow those steps and we will help you.

Only these 2 scans are done I will upload the other one once it finishes

I see you’re into Torrenting. I’d ask you remove it. If you wish not to, OK. But please refrain from using Bittorent. It’d also be nice not to download any Porn as well.

Remover Notified.

Hello Jon13 and welcome to avast!. I will be working on your Malware issues.

Please note that these fixes are not instantaneous. Most infections require more than one round to properly eradicate.

Please stay with me until given the ‘all clear’ even if symptoms seemingly abate.

Kindly follow my instructions and please do no fixing on your own or running of scanners unless requested by a helper


  1. Please download ComboFix by sUBs (
