Malicious URL blocked message constantly popping up (Avast)

Hi Guys,

I am new to the forum and I’m not very technically sound. Since the last few days, I have been getting a pop up message from Avast about a malicious URL being blocked.

I tried running full scan on tdsskiller, Norman Malware Cleaner, MBAM and AVAST but nothing was found.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Tanveer

This needs further analysis by a malware removal specialist:
Go to this topic http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 for information on Logs to assist in cleaning malware.
Use the information about getting and using the tools and attach the logs here, not in the LOGS topic.

Will do so, thanks.

You’re welcome.

OTL Logs…

aswMBR…

MBAM log…

If the alerts happen again after this run could you post a screenshot of the alert

To disable MBAM
Open the scanner and select the protection tab
Remove the tick from “Start with Windows”
Reboot and then run OTL

Run OTL

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

:OTL DRV - File not found [Kernel | Boot | Stopped] -- System32\drivers\iykmgdxo.sys -- (hsmd) FF - prefs.js..network.proxy.http: "108.62.180.225" FF - prefs.js..network.proxy.http_port: 62912

:Files
ipconfig /flushdns /c

:Commands
[purity]
[resethosts]
[emptytemp]
[CREATERESTOREPOINT]
[Reboot]


[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.

Completed the OTL fixes, I have attached the logs,

Thanks a lot for your help.

Are you still getting the alerts ?

no I haven’t got any alerts since running the fix, will check for a few more hours and let you know… Any advice for me?

I kusy got the pop up once again :frowning:

Could you post a screenshot of the alert please

Here it is…

Download and Install Combofix

Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2

VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

  • IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here

[*]Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
[*]Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks

[*]When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
[*]Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

Notes:

  1. Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
  2. Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
  3. If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.

Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

ComboFix log…

I haven’t received any more alerts after scanning with ComboFix and the system seems to be acting fine. Will check for the next 4 - 5 hours and let you know.

After several hours the pop up has appeared once again, a couple of times.

What does the popup say ?..I could not read your post earlier in thread…too small of image.
Any chance it is this one ? http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=96696.0

If not, perhaps the same thing is true…as you can see from my thread I ran every MW/AV/etc known to man with no luck.
It was when JeffCE told me to check the file thru SystemLook…see attached post from thread that covers this.
It may be different file than yours but perhaps the experts here may want you to try this ?

thekochs, thanks for your suggestion,

I have attached the screen shot again, it is readable now.

not readable…very blurred

i guess the process say c:\windows\ sytem32\ svchost.exe. ?

what doest it say on object ?
