Dear Experts,
I have similar issue with some other users.
I recently got attacked by “System Recovery” virus. I got it cleaned out by MalWarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware. However now I constantly get Avast Malicious URL Blocked message.
Searching Internet is also very slow.
I attached logs from MWB and OTL here. I downloaded aswMBR but i won’t start for me.
Please help !!!
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Son
I downloaded aswMBR but i won't start for me.try to run it from safe mode
malware removers are notified. It may take hours before one arrive so be patient
Thanks Pondus.
I tried in Safe mode and it still did not start for me

Thanks much for helping me out Essexboy. I really appreciate it.
I followed your instructions and here are the logs files.
Could you confirm that all the files/folders/menus are back to normal - are the alerts still present ?
Download AdwCleaner from here to your desktop
Run AdwCleaner and select Delete
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/AdwCleaner.GIF
Once done it will ask to reboot, allow this
On reboot a log will be produced please attach that
Files/folders/menus are back to normal. But the alerts still present but less frequent.
I will run AdwCleaner now and post the log next.
Could you screenshot the alert for me please
Also opening up websites is quite slow. It’s much faster on my other labtop (connect wireless) or ipad.
Here are the Alert screenshot and the logs
OK time for the big boy
Download and Install Combofix
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:

[*]When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
[*]Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
Notes:
- Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
- Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
- 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
OK. I will run it tonight and report back. Thanks.
Alert message has not popped up for sometimes now.
However, opening up webpages is still slow.
Once a while there is an ad with voice only playing without any thing displayed on the monitor. I didn’t have internet or any application running at the times.
Here are the logs
More Avast alerts tonight…

I tried it twice but TDSSKiller won’t start. Should I try to run it in safe mode ?
Yes please, I see you also have an XP partition you could run it from there
It still does not start in safe mode.
How do I boot up in XP ?
Did you know you had an XP partition ?
Could you rename TDSSKiller to svchost please and then try
No I did not know I have XP partition.
I renamed it to svchost in safe mode and standard win7, it still did not start. What’s wrong ?
I believe you have an MBR infection, that is why neither TDSSKiller nor aswMBR will run
Could you reboot your computer and immediately press and hold F8
On the menu that appears is there an option “repair my computer”
As I will need to work from the recovery console for this one
