Looking for some help getting rid of this url which is constantly being blocked by Avast. Various logs attached. Something to do with scvhost.exe.

Any advice much appreciated.

I started getting last few weeks the following popups:

bestdriverstar.net/4141
simplesitescan.net/4141
anychicago.com
alwaysisobar.com

Avast pops up and anounces that a threat has been detected and blocked. on the top right hand corner there’s a little bar with number 1/2 2/4 and on it goes.

How can I stop it? it’s very frustrating!

Any help would be appreicated

Scan with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

[*]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.
