Avast keeps blocking harmfull webpages

Hi,

Avast keeps blocking harmful files (using Chrome) but when I do a scan with either Avast or Malwarebyte nothing is found.

I’ve seen similar threads on here but they are all specific to that person, what do I need to do?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Tim

The same as the others have done. :wink:
Follow the instructions and attach the logs:
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Did you, uh, happen to see my post? Just found it funny we both posted about the identical issue around the same time.

Some additional things that my assist you…

Task manager: Check for any suspicious/unusual programs
Installed programs: Check for junk/unusal programs (toolbars and such)
Services snap-in/services.msc: Any unusual services running (especially ones without descriptions/odd service names)
Startup programs: Check msconfig.msc for odd start up entries
Web Browser plug-ins/add-ons: Make sure only the plug-ins you recognize are running

Checking loaded drivers is also a good thing. DriverView is a great program for that: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html
You can also see which programs where executed when with UserAssist: http://blog.didierstevens.com/programs/userassist/
Use http://www.systemlookup.com to check any program/name/entry you do not recognize. I identified a driver loaded on my computer that had been added by a PUP (it was a network driver).

Of course, do this if you’re “computer savy” and want to know the root cause of this issue. If you don’t feel comfortable with removing these kind of things (or the risks that might come of it), then just stick with Eddy’s solution.

Hi,

Thanks for the link, here are the logs.

Cheers

Tim

Hi there, the first thing you must do is uninstall Chrome, you may reinstall once we have finished

CAUTION : This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Could you attach the fixlog please. How is the computer now ?

sorry, attached.

PC seems to be ok but it’s deleted Chrome where I was having the issues, do I simply reinstall?

Thanks a lot

Tim

Ah you did not read the first line which asked you to uninstall Chrome. It was a developer build which has no security features. I removed the remnants (if you had uninstalled it :slight_smile: )

Yes re-install Chrome now and let me know if the problem recurs

Oops, ah well, at least the line I missed wasn’t too critical!!

Thanks for all your help, seems good so far.

Tim

If all is well tomorrow let me know and I will tidy up

Hi,

I rebooted and now can’t access the internet on either chrome or Firefox (on phone now)

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Tim

hang on, rebooted again and seems to be working…strange!

Thanks again for your help

Tim

Let me know if that occurs again please

hi Essexboy.

A week in and all seems great still, thank you so much for your help, really generous with your time and knowledge.

Thank you.

Tim

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Remove tools

Download and run Delfix

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/delfix.JPG

: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select Remove Java Runtime. Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/javara.JPG

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/CryptoPrevent.JPG

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme :wink:

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
