SVCHOST.EXE process with URL:MAL infection

Viruses and worms
1

Hi

Built a new pc 2 or 3 weeks ago, have had avast installed the entire time.

In the last week or two, I have been getting occasional viruses blocked in my svhost.exe file.

They are the usual suspects as below:

URL:http://simplesitescan.net/4141/LighterInit_142669556111830.dll
Infection: URL:Mal
Process: C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe

URL:http://alwaysisobar.com/4141/CutterGeneration_142669028208336.dll
Infection: URL:Mal
Process: C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe

URL:http://bestdriverstar.net/4141/CutterSystem_142669222915982.dll
Infection: URL:Mal
Process: C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe

Malware bytes didn’t find anything major and i noticed that anytime this question is brought up there is a big warning not to follow the advice in it due to it being tailored to the individual’s machine.

So can someone help me clear this up?

Edit:
It seems that it may have something to do with Nord VPN, as it happens a lot more frequently if I am connected to the vpn.

[*]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.
