svchost.exe malware

Hi, I keep on getting this message when I start my computer. It is attached.

Process: svchost
infection: mal

It tries to go to a website but avast blocks it. How would I remove this?

Attach your basic logs. (MBAM, FRST and aswMBR…!!)

Ok here are the files.

OK, now you’ve to wait a bit…

Could you let me know if this stops it

CAUTION : This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

CreateRestorePoint: BHO: CinemaP-1.3cV13.01 -> {11111111-1111-1111-1111-110611901165} -> C:\Program Files (x86)\CinemaP-1.3cV13.01\CinemaP-1.3cV13.01-bho64.dll No File 2015-01-16 09:16 - 2015-01-16 09:16 - 00000000 __SHD () C:\Users\Lai i5\AppData\Local\EmieBrowserModeList EmptyTemp: CMD: bitsadmin /reset /allusers

Save this as fixlist.txt, in the same location as FRST.exe

: 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)

If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select Remove Java Runtime. Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware
