Avast repeatedly pops up blocking various URL:Mal infections in dllhost.exe or iexplore.exe. Malwarebytes found Trojan.Crypt.NKN on a prior scan, but more recent scans show nothing. Scans with Avast and Adwcleaner also show nothing.
I’m attaching logs as suggested. aswMBR seemed to indicate infection of FRST.exe with win32:Evo-gen?
How long should the fix take to run? Mine has been going for more than an hour and still says “Fixing in progress. Please wait…” (Apologies if this is normal!)
Okay, finally got the fix to run (I think it got hung up because I was trying to run it in safe mode). I’m attaching the fixlog. So far no more URL:Mal popups.
