This is driving me insane. I have searched the internet thoroughly and used MULTIPLE (Malwarebytes, avast scan, OTL, aswmbr,MCShield. I understand a couple of these programs can be harmful but I looked up people with this same issue and took the following steps in effort to speed up the process of getting an answer back) programs in effort to get rid of this virus/error/whatever it is and nothing has worked. Avast is giving me a new threat literally every 5 seconds. The “object” is a URL that changes every time a new notification comes up, the “Infection” is URL:Mal and the “Process” is C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe. Could somebody please offer some insight on this error or any wisdom on fixing it? Thank you so much! IN ADDITION: My Windows is not allowing me to update any security updates. All windows updates that are not being allowed to update are affiliated with the error code: Code 80070216. Is this related? I’m lost with all of this. It’s frustrating me thoroughly.
Remover Notified.
Do not run any programs unless asked too. If you already have, please attach them
Thank you. The programs listed above were the only programs I have ran.
Okay. We are short at least 1 remover and the other is extremely busy with other threads. It might take an hour or two before someone arrives to help you
No worries. I’ll be here.
Hi,
Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool by Farbar and save it to your desktop.
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.
[*]Under Optional Scan ensure “List BCD” and “Driver MD5” are ticked.
[*]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.
===================================================================
Download TDSSKiller and save it to your desktop

Confirm “End user Licence Agreement” and “KSN Statement” dialog box by clicking on Accept button.

Once complete, a log will be produced at the root drive which is typically C:\ ,for example, C:\TDSSKiller.<version_date_time>log.txt
Please post the contents of that log in your next reply.
Ok here they are. They Farbar program yielded two logs so I have attached both.
PC is clean, no malware…
then what could the error be? Just a glitch in Avast?
Can you post a ScreenShot of detection?
Apologies for slow response. Was out at the gym. Here is the screenshot. A new threat comes ever 5 seconds with a varying “object”.
I will try reinstalling Avast.
That doesn’t looks like real detection, it is some kind of False Positive…
