Hi first time using these forums, so please bear with my lack of familiarity with how things are done around here :
I ran MBAM and not only did it not get rid of the problem, it didn’t even find a problem.
Starting from the moment I post this, I am following the steps outlined in this thread: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
I will attach the log from AdwCleaner here as soon as I run it and obtain the log following reboot!
Edit: I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, and the problem occurs when I load webpages in Chrome. Hope that helps some
It may or may not be worth mentioning that the pop-up that avast! has blocked this particular virus no longer pops up. Others dealing with this issue have noticed this as well. I’m worried that means that it found a way around avast! or something :o

You should see new activity on your post within a few hours. Logs are needed to see the malware, what it is, where it is, and how best to proceed. You will be in good hands, but please be patient as the person contacted likely lives in another time zone than you do.
I would still love some help with this problem. I was reading other posts by people with the same problem as mine and they similarly noticed that the avast! pop-up was no longer appearing. However, the trkjmp URL:Mal was still appearing in the active shields
By they, do you mean the avast! notification pop-ups? Because they already stopped appearing a couple days ago, even in regular Chrome. Is there another way to check whether avast! is still blocking the trkjmp virus if it doesn’t give me pop-ups anymore?
That was in part a false positive, the domain is owned by amazon but it had a subdomain with crossrider. Avast is now only blocking the sub domain. And there is no indication of crossrider on your system. Almost everyone else had it though
Yes as we had a surge of them over the weekend, and I think it was only three that did not have crossrider and the alerts ceased for those when Avast updated (You were one of them)
