Avast keeps blocking reduled.info and reddie.net after sleep.

Viruses and worms
1

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone could help me. Every time I wake my computer from sleep mode, Avast gives me several warnings saying that it has blocked something dangerous (usually reduled and reddie). My problem is exactly the same as this person’s: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=165832.0

Avast nor Malwarebytes seems to be able to detect anything. I have also tried tdsskiller and several other tools with no luck.

I have attached the necessary logs as requested. Thank you for your time.

UPDATE: I installed and tried SuperAntiSpyware, which seemed successful in detecting malware on my system. It removed it, I also reset my browser (Chrome), and then reset my PC.

So far, it has been half successful. Upon exiting sleep, I no longer recieve Avast pop ups blocking reduled.info or reddie.net. Now I only recieve pop ups for epictory.com.

Could you let me know if this stops it

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

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

Save this as fixlist.txt, in the same location as FRST.exe

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

: 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

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.
