Hi guys, beginning this evening, I’ve been getting constant notifications from avast that it has blocked an attempted URL:Mal infection. Avast didn’t detect any infections when I scanned the PC and MBAM did highlight and quarantine 3 files the first time I tried it though the messages haven’t ceased. Can anyone please help me?
I’ve included the necessary logs, please let me know if there’s any other information needed and I really would appreciate any help or advice.
I’ve attached the warning messages to this post, if they’re of any relevance.
Yeah, I’ve been getting warning about that as well. Have you been to Amazon or Facebook lately? I think those are the most likely offenders.
Hey guys, Getting this same warning from Avast, I’m currently running a few malware/malicious software removal tools, and have not found the culprit for this website look-up yet. Avast is being to vague as to what application/service is calling this website. svchost.exe (the offending application) means nothing, as its for service hosting. Will let you know once I have found something, or should you guys find it, please let me know.
DJ, start your own topic please.
I have notified the removers.
Could you let me know if this stops the alerts

Since carrying out your fix two days ago, I have not had any further malware warnings; thank you so much for helping me out, I’m amazed by your promptness.

: Keep Java Updated :
WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)
Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:
