Malware URL linked to Winamp.exe

Viruses and worms
1

Hello,

Since yesterday every so often ( maybe 5 or 6 hours) I get a pop-up from avast saying that it blocked an infection the details are as follows
URL: hxtp://sites.securepaynet.net/redirect_0.html
Infection: URL: Mal
Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\winamp.exe

I ran malawarebytes and avast and nothing came up after the first instance yesterday, but it came up again today. I reran malaware bytes and still nothing. I uploaded the file in question to virustotal and it said it looked safe. My question is, is this a false positive or is my computer infected with something. I have attached the logs discussed in the pinned forum post. Thank you for your time and assistance.

I ran FRST as request and have attached the log that it produced.

Good. How is the situation now?

It seems to be ok, nothing is popping up randomly and everything seems a bit faster. Did you find anything in those scans that I should be worried about ( I.E: Do I need to change all of my passwords or anything like that? Thank you for all of your help.

10

You had browser hijacker, I am not sure if this infection is that severe to steal passwords, but you won’t make a mistake if you change your passwords.

11

Was it just searchscopes that you found or where there others?

12

Chrome was hijacked.

13

So I just had another pop-up appear and here is the info:

Avast infection blocked
URL: hxtp://66.199.231.59/c29e7461

I have reran AswMBR, Malawarebytes, and FRST and have attached the logs.
