bestdrivestar.net and anythicago.com malware problems

Viruses and worms
1

I keep getting alerts from Avast about threats trying to direct me to bestdrivestar.net, anythicago.com and atleast one other that I didn’t have time to see. When it fires off I get several warnings pop up in quick succession. It even seems to do it when I’m not browsing the internet, it seems to happen at start-up sometimes too.

I’ve attached the logs from MBAM, FRST and aswMBR.

I hope you can help me resolve this.

Thanks

Hi there,

So far so good, it looks like it has worked, no more threat announcements.
Thanks for the help, and the speed with which you provided it.

I’ve donated a few dollars so you can get a coffee or beer next time you’re out.

Thanks again :slight_smile:
