Avast Message on Win32:Evo-Gen

Viruses and worms
1

Hi,

Last night, I had AVAST popup a message about a malware called Win32:Evo-Gen at C:\windows\system32\svhost file

This is when the machine was started and logged into Windows 7. Not sure if it is before Opera browser was opened or after. Here are the logs

Malwarebytes which did not find anything
OTL Logs
aswMBR

I also notice Avast pops a message about another malware that im not sure what the name is when searching the directflights website.

Also I have a some critical software updates that are pending although when I tried updating the Adobe software it doesnt appear to update after about 1 hour.

Anything you require or does the logs seem clean

Thanks

Oh the Mcafee antivirus was preinstalled when the machine was first brought but havent used or touched which is probably why it is outdated.

installing multiple AV will give you a slow machine, windows errors and false detections

General: Uninstalling a third-party antivirus software. http://www.avast.com/en-eu/faq.php?article=AVKB11

• To help AntiVirus to protect your computer and speed it up, I recommend that you download, install and keep the following free programs:

  1. Keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, update it regularly or from time to time and run a Quick Scan weekly.
    Malwarebytes will detect and remove all traces of known malware. MBAM isn’t AntiVirus and it can NOT replace it.

  2. Keep MCShield Anti-Malware, the tool will be updated regularly and perform auto-checking for malware to each attached USB memory device.
    MCShield, has been designed as a lightweight scanner that’s smart enough to catch even new worms and work in fully automatic removal mode.

  3. It’s recommended to delete Temporary Files every once in a while. Run the tool and click on the Start button and TFC will begin to clean. Then restart the computer.
    Temp File Cleaner aka TFC by OldTimer
    TFC is small & usefull utility that shall clean up temp files from all userprofiles and system folders.

• How to protect yourself?

  1. Adjust avast! to target PUP software:
    Run avast! 2014 by clicking the system tray icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
    Click on Settings, in the new window that opens, click on Active Protection, then under File System Shield click on gear wheel…
    Under Sensitivity part of option check box for Scan for potentialy unwanted programs PUP.

  2. avast! Software Updater. Run avast!, click on Tools > Software Updater.
    For security reasons, make sure you do update your browser(s), Java, Flash Player, and basically every software you use often.

Have followed your post and perform the steps and installed Mcshield. Should I be worried as when i installed mcshield, mcshield reported no malware on drive G:. Problem is I dont have a Drive G:\ as I can only see C:\ and F:\ where F is the cd rom drive.

Thanks
