I have somehow picked up some malware. My browser occasionally tries to access the website above and others but Avast has thankfully been blocking this. I have ran virus scan and also downloaded and ran SuperAntiSpyware but have not been able to remove this annoyance. Can anyone help me get rid of this malware?
Hi dougan068. Welcome to Avast forums.
Follow this guide: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
and attach ( Do not copy/paste ) logs for Malwarebytes’ ( MBAM ), Farbar Recovery Scan Tool ( FRST ), and aswMBR.exe.
an expert in the removal of malware will help you. You have to be patient. Most specialists are located in Europe and it is very late there right now.
Here are requested log files… Please let me know how to proceed.
Could you let me know if this stops it
