Those users infested by this malcode, Web Attack: WPAD Spoofing, could get protection (after the malware/adware, (BrowserHijacker) has been cleansed by a qualified remover) through this patch: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/download/critical/patch6.htm
notice to myself: check again the auto config url’s
Hi rajuvprasad,
1. Open notepad and copy/paste the text present inside the code box below. To do this highlight the contents of the box and right click on it. Paste this into the open notepad. NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to the operating system
2. Save notepad as fixlist.txt to your Desktop. NOTE: => It’s important that both files, FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.
3. Run FRST/FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait. If the tool needed a restart please make sure you let the system to restart normally and let the tool completes its run after restart.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please attach it to your reply. Note: If the tool warned you about the outdated version please download and run the updated version.
I wonder if the Adcash.com detection is not somehow related to an insecure plug-in install- Babylon toolbar or Conduit Search crap/adware, all very persistent and to be cleansed under guidance of a qualified malware remover, so follow magna86’s instructions to the dot. I hope he will soon cleanse your computer of these undesirable “guests” ;D

I am not using Google Chrome and it is NOT installed on my machine.
I am using Mozilla Firefox. I have uninstalled it completely using REVO Uninstaller and re-installed it yesterday only.
Let me know if you want me to do that again today.
Also please find here new set of log files from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool…
Thanks a lot Sir, looks like the notifications have stopped for now and the adcash.com window popup looks resolved as well.
If I notice them again today I will update here in this thread.
Thank you very much once again for your help.
