espeak911, colexity777, 37.220.36.44 malicious url blocked

Viruses and worms
1

I’ve been having issues with a laptop and I recently installed Avast! on it, and I’m constantly getting these malicious url blocked for espeak911, colexity777, and 37.220.36.44. After some research it’s probably better for me to just wipe the drive. Now my question is should I remove the virus first before wiping, or will it be okay for me just to wipe it without the removal?

If you need any information just let me know.

After some research it's probably better for me to just wipe the drive.
if this is the same infection as often those this...no need to wipe the drive, but lets see what the experts say first ;)

Follow this guide and attach the requested logs…not copy and paste http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

AdwCleaner
Malwarebytes
OTL
aswMBR

when done the malware specialists will be notified. it may take hours before one arrive so be patient…also consider it is christmas time :wink:

Here are the logs requested.

4

one more.

5

removers are notified…check back tomorrow :wink:

it seems you have avast and McAfee installed. Never install multiple AV as this will give a slower machine, mysterious windows errors and false detections
so you need to uninstall one AV…

when done, run the vendors removal tool to make sure all leftover files that may conflict are gone
you find the tools here http://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/security-software/

Thanks for your quick reply, sorry for my slow one. The pop-ups for the malicious url are no longer popping up!

8

Re-run TDSSKiller with the same parameters
When the following appears select delete :

\Device\Harddisk0\DR0 ( TDSS File System )

Then let me know of any problems

9

I believe the file was deleted. When I ran the Killer I followed your instructions but then Avast got in the way saying something about a toolkit blocked. After I disabled Avast I reran the scan and the file was gone. Here is the report from the second scan. Thanks for your help! The computer and network are running much faster now.

10

Once you are happy let me know and I will tidy up

11

I’m happy. Thanks for all your help. :smiley:

12

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 ComboFix

(Notice the space between the “x” and “/”)

[]Follow the prompts on the screen
[]A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
