Threat alerts on webpages

Viruses and worms
1

Hi guys,
I keep getting " Threat alerts" each time I open a webpage on chrome, IE or Firefox. It doesn’t matter what the page is, either google, facebook or anything it still pops up.
URL: http://sql3.true-secure.com/?id
Infection: URL:Mal
I have ran MBAM and that didn’t fix the issue so I ran OTL to show you the logs and aswMBR. Attached should be the logs? :slight_smile:
Hopefully you can help me out it would be much appreciated:)

aswMBR attached

Please rerun MBAM make sure everything is selected and click remove selected at the bottom.

It’s clear :slight_smile: But still getting hits on web pages etc.

Essexboy,
Thanks for the quick reply the problem still remains, here are the logs you asked for :slight_smile:

7

OK lets get the big boy out

Download and Install Combofix

Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2

VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

  • IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here

[*]Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
[*]Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/ried7/NSIS_extraction.png

[*]When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
[*]Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

Notes:

  1. Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
  2. Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
  3. If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.

Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

Essexboy,

Sorry for the late reply.
What caused this issue and what is it that your repairing? I have no clue when it comes to virus’. :slight_smile:

9

Just restarted computer and it seems to have stopped the threat alerts :slight_smile:

10

Combofix killed the last bit of the adware that I could not see… How is the computer now ?

11

It’s working well. Start up is quicker aswell. No problems from anything.

:slight_smile: Thank you so much! :smiley:
What caused the problem??

12

It was adware, taking up system resources :slight_smile:

In that case methinks I will send you on your merry way :slight_smile:

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Remove ComboFix
[*]Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
[*]In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall
(Notice the space between the “x” and “/”)
then click OK

http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee362/Essexboy3/Misc%20screen%20shots/CF_Uninstall-1.jpg

[]Follow the prompts on the screen
[]A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

Clear Restore Points

Go Start > All Programmes > Accessories > System tools
Right click Disc Cleanup and select run as administrator
When it pops up at the first prompt select OK after it has done some calculations the tabs will appear
Select More Options tab
Press Sytem Restore and Shadow Copies Cleanup button

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/CryptoPrevent.JPG

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
