Malicious URL Blocked - Constant warning URL:Mal infection

I downloaded a program this past weekend and have had the Avast warning pop up since.

Infection Details URL: hxtp://novemberrainx.com/x/
Process: \.\globalroot\systemroot\svchost.exe
Infection: URL:Mal

Please review and help if you can. Logs are attached. Thanks!.

also attach a quick scan log from malwarebytes

Here is scan log as requested.

Can you remember what programme it was and where you got it from ?

Download the latest version of TDSSKiller from here and save it to your Desktop.

[*]Doubleclick on TDSSKiller.exe to run the application

[*]Then click on Change parameters.

[*]Click the Start Scan button.

[*]If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.

Cured one file that was a threat. the others I don’t think are issues. Warnings have gone away!! looks like you fixed it! awesome!
Thanks

OK lets re-run TDSSKiller with the same parameters
When this element appears select delete :

\Device\Harddisk0\DR0 ( TDSS File System )

Avast will alert as the files are being moved

Once done are there any remaining problems

Done, attached is Kapersky report #2.
MalwareBytes is giving me a svchost.exe trojan report. See attached report.
Thanks!!

OK allow MBAM to delete that as it is now impotent without the TDSS element

Once done re-run MBAM and it should be history

Done!! All fixed as far as I can tell. You are awesome, thank you so much!!

I must admit I sometimes forget about that little bugger after the main files are removed, so a MBAM scan is usually run once you are happy with no alerts, saves me having to remember ;D

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:

Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

:Commands [resethosts] [emptytemp] [Reboot]

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[
]Click OK.
