Damn blackfight.info

Morning, I’ve been having this annoying thing for about the last 2 weeks.

When I start my internet connection avast blocks 2 processes blackfight.info affecting svchost.
I can’t see any big malfunction in the computer, probably because avast blocks it, but it is annoying. Besides few days ago i’ve started to get a message saying that my windows is not authentic, which is not true.

I’ve seen many similar posts around the forum but all of them had “personal” fixes made.

How can i sort this out? I’ll attach malware bytes and frst logs

This should stop 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:

CreateRestorePoint: EmptyTemp: CMD: bitsadmin /reset /allusers

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

It finally looks like everything is sorted out. I’ve attached the log.

Just totally out of curiosity, what does that notepad file do?
