Short and sweet: Laptop has been infected for between 2-7 days. Avast shows that every time I access a web browser, something attempts to redirect me to blackfight.info/3232 etc, or it begins with ‘reduled’ or ‘reddie’, all containing ‘3232’ and multiple containing ‘.dll’ at the end of the extension.
This virus attempts to work its way through svchost.exe
I have attempted to isolate the subgroup of svchost.exe to no avail (not competent enough to edit registry keys confidently), and have attempted using Avast, Sophos Virus Removal, Malwarebytes, Adware Cleaner, all to no avail.
I have attached the one successful log from Malwarebytes (didn’t remove the root of the virus, but has identified some infection). I have also attached the FRST log, which has also identified multiple infections.
Thank you in advance to anybody who is willing and able to help me (cough Essexboy), I have seen in multiple other threads that a fix is available for independent computers through the use of a unique code and FRST, but have not attempted to use code designed for other computers.
Run FRST and press Fix
On completion a log will be generated please post that
