Every now and then, when I boot up my computer, I am greeted with about 10-12 URL:Mal threats from Avast. They all point to different web urls, and I can’t for the life of me get rid of it. I have run MBAM and Avast without any detections, but I’ll attach my logs so some of the moderators can take a look at it and hopefully help me with this issue.
The notifications from Avast also seem to pop up every time I re-enable internet in the Network and Sharing Center. The threats are all hiding behind System32/svchost.exe, and I was unable to see anything abnormal when looking what was behind them in ProcessExplorer.
Hello,

Scan with ZOEK

https://sites.google.com/site/cannedfixes/home/hosted-images-tools/RunAsAdmin.jpg
Run as Administrator to start the tool.
[]Wait patiently until the main console will appear, it may take a minute or two.
[]In the main box please paste in the following script:
createsrpoint;
autoclean;
emptyalltemp;
ipconfig /flushdns;b
[*]Make sure that Scan All Users option is checked.
[*]Push Run Script and wait patiently. The scan may take a couple of minutes.
[*]When the scan completes, a zoek-results logfile should open in notepad.
[*]If a reboot is needed, it will be opened after it. You may also find it at your main drive (usually C:\ drive)
Post its content into your next reply.
Soon after I run Zoek with the script above, I am met with a windows error message saying “DaS21 has stopped working.”. After that, Zoek seems to just stop at “Remove From Windows Installer” and doesn’t seem to be making any progress.
Looking at the zoek-results log file, it has also stopped at “Zoek.exe System Restore Point Created Successfully.”
Edit: Seems like it got past “Remove From Windows Installer” point and is making progress now, but still wondering about that DaS21 error message. I’ll post logs when it finishes.
Zoek finished, logs attached.

Alright, fixlog coming right up.
How is your PC behaving now?
So far so good, re-enabling the network device doesn’t give me any pop ups so far, which happaned all the time before. Thanks for the help!
