Hi, I’ve been chasing what Web Shield is telling me is a malware infection.
After around 10 minutes on the web (SeaMonkey) Web Shield notifies me it blocked an infection from “h_www_theadclick_com__pages__index_php?refid” “Infection:URL:Mal”. I’ve done the usual actions for a suspected infection scanning with Mailwarebytes, Superantispyware even with the Bitdefender rescue CD, but each claimed the machine is clean. As a final attempt to clean it I ran Combofix (yes I’m very computer literate!!) and while it found a very minor problem when I got back on the web, Avast told me it was blocking the same site.
I’ve done a search in this site and the web looking for information, but there seems to be nothing there regarding this possible infection. Anybody familiar with the “threadclick.com”? Am I getting a false positive or if not, how do I clean it?
Thanks
Gene
