Every time I go online I keep getting between 10 and 20 messages from avast saying “avast web shield has blocked a harmful webpage or file”. It’s only started occurring in the last 3 days.
I have scanned my laptop with Avast and Malwarebytes Anti-malware. Malwarebytes showed me some potentially unwanted files which I have deleted, yet the problem still persists.
Does anybody know what the cause might be?
I am running:
Avast Free Antivirus, program version 2015.10.2.2215
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.1.6.1022 (Free), Database Version v2015.06.12.01
Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
[*]Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Press Scan button.
[*]It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
[*]The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
Please download ZOEK by Smeenk and save it to your desktop (preferred version is the *.exe one)
Temporary disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware protection - instructions here.
[*]Make sure that Scan All Users option is checked.
[*]Push Run Script and wait patiently. The scan may take a couple of minutes.
[*]When the scan completes, a zoek-results logfile should open in notepad.
[*]If a reboot is needed, it will be opened after it. You may also find it at your main drive (usually C:\ drive)
I ran Zoek, but my computer failed to turn back on after restarting. It struggled a few times, one time it said it was preparing to repair automatically.
Once I got it started the log file was open. I came online and Avast blocked another handful of threats.
Anyway, thanks for your help with this. I’ve attached the log file for you.

At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:[b]DelFix.txt[/b])
The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
