System Check

Can someone check my files please.

I’ve been getting the svchost.exe at 25% randomly for ~3 minutes every time. When I check what service it’s attached to, 9 times out of 10 it’s the “Browser” service. Just wanted to see if it’s anything that’s non-windows related.

MAMB did pick up some FF PUPs (haven’t used firefox in months)

Thanks.

Did you set the proxy on your computer ?

ProxyServer: [S-1-5-21-4100055339-3037098459-3798699050-1000] => localhost:8080

Not intentionally no… Would Visual Express install one? I do see it in Internet Explorer>Options>Connections>LAN Settings, is that it? I’ve removed it, it wasn’t ticked anyway.

Just did a netstat -a and can’t see a listening 8080 port.

NB. Is it worth running Malwarebytes along side Avast?

They generally work together quite well

So other than that, my log looks ok?

Apart from the proxy yes
