svchost.exe URL:MAL infected?

Viruses and worms
1

I’ve been having an issue over the last few days as avast is repeatedly alerting me that they have blocked an infection via svchost.exe as URL:MAL and the website URL changes each time. I have tried a full system scan with various programs such as avast, malwarebytes and emsisoft but all return with no results and i dont know what else to try.

Thanks in advance for any help,
-Tom

Is it related to the program you told me to download or it part of a virus etc?

Thanks,
