Infection blocked messages at startup

Every so often I get an infection blocked warning

URL htXp://epictory.com/3131/IncrementFunc_14224538168258.dll

Infection URL:Mal

Process svchost.exe

I also can no longer open up the scheduled tasks program, it tells me that I cannot reach the remote machine, though I’m not trying to reach any remote machine. I was trying to get local.

I’ve scanned with both Avast and Malwarebytes and neither are detecting any infected files, that is why I was trying to look at the scheduled tasks.

I know where this hides

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

Note: You need to run the version compatible 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.

[*]Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Select additions at the bottom
[*]Press Scan button.

[*]It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
[*]Please attach both logs generated.

And I see you already contacted.

Thanks for the fast reply. Here are those log files.

Uninstall Chrome
Unless you did this yourself, malware has changed your Chrome version into the Development Build. Among other things this allows malware to install any extension it wants. We need to resolve this.

  1. If you have bookmarks, let’s save them by exporting them - Export Bookmarks
  2. Then I need you to go Google Sync and sign into your account
  3. Scroll down until you see the “Stop and Clear” button and click on the button. At the prompt click on “Ok”
  4. Now we need to uninstall chrome.
    Note: When asked about user data or settings you must remove this also so please check the box.

THEN

CAUTION : This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

Save this as fixlist.txt, in the same location as FRST.exe

Run FRST and press Fix
On completion a log will be generated please post that

Posted. And so for no blocked infection notifications. Thank you so much.

You may now re-install Chrome, let me know if that goes OK

I opted not to install Chrome right now. It wasn’t synced with any account at the time so wasn’t a loss. Is there a way to prevent the flip to developer mode? That’s what really bothered me. In fact opening Chrome increased the notifications instantly.

Unfortunately no as the developer mode is a legitimate part of Chrome. But, it is a security hole that Google should plug

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Remove tools

Download and run Delfix
Select the options as shown

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/delfix.JPG

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/CryptoPrevent.JPG

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme :wink:

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
