I have been getting messages like the one below from Avast like some others I have seen in the forums.

Avast Notification:
URL: http://wpad.browserupdatecheck.in/wpad.dat
Infection: URL:Mal
Process: C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe

I have tried using malwarebytes and avast to get rid of it but they cannot find it. I attached the 2 logs created by the farbar recovery scan tool.

Hello,

Registry Fix

Modifying the registry may create unforeseen results. Please do not proceed, unless you have created a registry backup prior to doing that!

Please download the attached registry fix file and save it to your desktop:

Now we need to import the file into the registry.

[*]Locate the Tcpip.reg file on your desktop.
[*]Right-click the
https://sites.google.com/site/cannedfixes/registry-fix/reg_file_icon.jpg
icon of your file and select Merge.
[*]You’ll be prompted about adding the information to the registry. Please agree.

After this please manually reboot your machine. Any report won’t be generated.
