Threat detected at startup....please help!

Viruses and worms
1

I get a message at startup that a threat has been detected. Originally, before I ran Malwarebytes, I would get a popup from Avast, but since running malwarebytes, no popups, just the vocal alert. Here are some of the things that have been in the popups(I googled them originally and was able to look back in my history to see what I had googled for) blackled.info, blackfight.info, epictory.com, reduled.info,
Here’s what I have done:

  1. ran Malwarebytes, scanning for root kits - nothing detected - saved log
  2. ran Farbar - saved log
  3. ran aswmbr - saved log

Thank you in advance for your help!

I did install the Lyoness browser. Is that what is causing this? Should I delete it?

4

No it is just that it has an adware component but, I do not believe it to be the cause

Let me know if the alerts cease after FRSTY reboots

5

No more alerts!! Thank You!! Here are the logs:

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 tools

Download and run Delfix

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

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

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme :wink:

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