blackfight, epictory, reddie notifications when leaving sleep mode

Viruses and worms
1

Hello,

For the last couple of weeks, most of the time when I pull my system out of sleep mode, I get the pop up message that Avast has blocked a malware in svchost.exe (named reddie.net, blackfight.info, etc). More than 20 notifications sometime.

I’ve ran full system scans on Avast and malwarebytes, the problem is still here.

I’m running windows 8.1 on a HP machine. Attached are the logfiles. I cannot attach the MBR.dat file for now. Let me know if needed.

I will be very happy if someone can help me

I have seen number of posts about this issue, but I cannot fix my issue only reading them (I do not know how to make a fix).

Thank you.
Stephane

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

Run FRST and press Fix
On completion a log will be generated please post that
