Recently looked at a news article and twitter and saw Avast block the threat for “Infekce zablokována” and thought everything was fine but it keeps popping up now from various URL’s at dora-explorer.co.uk
One url example: hxxp://zx3pfiot5qhdzzhacpuytlw.dora-explorer.co.uk/index.php?t=ZWJpcnhkcXc9a3l5a2hkJnRpbWU9MTQwNzE1MTkzMDE5Nzg1MTk
Reason popping up is different each time. Something tells me the trojan is trying to call back to C&C but failing. Unsure though.
I’ve attached relevant logs as asked for in stickied post.

Combofix isn’t compatible with windows 8.1 so I cannot run it. Everytime I try and run the exe it says it doesn’t support compatibility mode. I’ve checked google and website for combofix and it says windows 8.1 is not supported at this time.
I did a /whois at http://whois.domaintools.com/54.213.74.177 and the 54.213.74.177 IP resolves to Amazon Technologies Inc. in Seattle, Washington. I don’t think Amazon would be sending out malware, but I suppose anything is possible.
