Blackfight software repeatedly blocked

Viruses and worms
1

Hello,

My Avast keeps telling me that it has blocked the “blackfight” malware on my computer, but the messages keep coming back, usually when I first power on and boot my OS. I use Windows 7 and Google Chrome browser. Not sure what other info you need to help me. I’m not experienced at dealing with these issues. In fact, I rarely use the machine that is being “attacked.” But my laptop is in the shop right now, so this is all I have at home. Please help me get rid of this. My browser seems to be a bit slow or acting funny at times, but I’m not sure if this is related to the “blackfight”

Downloaded Adware Cleaner. Tried to run the program. Received a message stating that it is not a Valid Win32 program. Will not run. Also got a pop-up from Avast stating that the program is suspicious.

How is the computer behaving now ?

17

It seems to be healthy. No more Avast warnings. No obvious signs of malware. Thank you.

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Remove tools

Download and run Delfix

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/delfix.JPG

: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select Remove Java Runtime. Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/javara.JPG

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/CryptoPrevent.JPG

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme :wink:

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
