I was hit by several popups by Avast today indicating that so/sth tries to bring malware to my computer. The screenshot is attached. The rubric “Action taken” in all of the shown cases is “Blocked”.
Is there any possibility that though it has been blocked a virus or trojan might have been installed on my machine? I dont have Java installed on this machine. Is the trojan that Avast caught related to Java?
Scan with HitmanPro (also OnDemandScanner):
→ No results.
Avast only has the 7 results in the report file of the webshield (it says 1274/7). No other shields show results.
Unfortunately I have no possibility to install OTL or aswMBR.exe at the moment.
And an addition to the screenshot in the first post: the first 6 results do not show the exact URL; it is the same of the last (7th) result. One can find that out when hovering with the mouse over the result.
Can you give me at least your opinion so far on the problem? I would very much appreciate this.
Would you say that the computer is safe to do things like ebay or perhaps even online banking?
the problem for me is that it is my girlfriend’s computer and I will only have access to install new programs in a couple of weeks. MBAM, HitmanPro as well as Avast, of course, are installed on the computer and I have assisted to create logs etc.
if you have random pop-ups from avast blocking a URL
No, there are no random popups. There were a few (I guess 7 because this is the number of blocked access entried in the avast webshield) once and no other popups since.
Is this related to Java or JavaScript? Java is not installed on the computer. So that would be a great relief.
So as long as no other popups turn up, this is just the indication that Avast has blocked access right? Together with the scans that should be fine then?
