Hello.
EDIT: I’ve stopped getting the pop-up and a restart didn’t change that, so maybe it was just Windows or one of my programs goofing around. I’ll post again if anything should happen.
I recently upgraded my computer and got a new operating system to go with it. One of the first things I did after getting it all set up was to install Avast! and it picked up MBR: \.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 pretty much right off the bat. So after having Avast remove it and do a boot time scan and that not fixing it, I googled it and found this thread. I have followed the instructions posted with the exception of running DDS.scr and I ran awsMBR AFTER using TDSSKiller.
I ran TDSSKiller again after rebooting and it found nothing. Avast has also not popped up saying it found anything but now every couple of seconds I’m getting a pop-up from Windows that says “You are about to view pages over a secure connection. Any information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed by anyone else on the web.”. Clicking More Info reveals that this is coming from Internet Explorer which I am not trying to use. IE doesn’t start up when I click OK and it doesn’t appear to be running in the background.
I’ll attach awsMBR.txt, ComboFix.txt and the first TDSSKiller log.
Remember, awsMBR.txt is newer than ComboFix and TDSSKiller.
