Hello: I have been getting a large number of Avast Webscan warnings when I go on the internet.
Here are the MalWare warnings that keep popping-up [especially the first one, bestdriverstar.net]
URL:http://bestdriverstar.net/4141/…
Infection: URL:Mal
Process: C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe

Process: C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe
URL:http://opticguardzip.net/4141/…
Infection: URL:Mal
Process: C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe
I have run a full Avast scan (nothing found)
I have run Hitman Pro (nothing unusual found)
Attached are my malwarebytes scan log from yesterday [found a trojan], FRST and FRST addition text files , the aswMBR.exe scan log file. I have also run Zoek.exe but the Avast forum will not allow more than 4 attachmens. I will try to post it after the initial posting.
Can you please figure out a way to remove this malware? After all of these scans, the frequency of the Avast Webscan pop-ups has subsided significantly, but not completely.
Thanks.

I have also posted my Zoek.exe scan results here [Avast forum restricts participant to 4 attachments so it was not in my original posting]

Hello Sorry about the delay. I thought my email was linked to this posting but apparently it isn’t. Anyway, I have attached the Zoek.exe text file to this reply.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:
Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

icon and select
https://sites.google.com/site/cannedfixes/home/hosted-images-tools/RunAsAdmin.jpg
Run as Administrator to start the tool.
(XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
[*]Press the Fix button just once and wait.
[*]If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
[*]When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
Please attach it to your reply.

My computer seems to be Malware free and I am not getting anymore Avast webscan warnings concerning the malwares that I cited in the thread above. So GREAT! Problem solved!
