Every time I am making a google search using Chrome, I get a “threat has been detecting message, Infetion URL:Mal” from avast. When I am using another browser, the problem disappears and google searches work fine. What’s the matter and what should I do?
If for instance I try a google search for avast internet security, the URL is “hxxp://88.208.7.204/slog/index2.php?v3&sys=google&key=avast internet security&restype=0&resitems=0”
1. Open notepad and copy/paste the text present inside the code box below. To do this highlight the contents of the box and right click on it. Paste this into the open notepad. NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to the operating system
2. Save notepad as fixlist.txt to your Desktop. NOTE: => It’s important that both files, FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.
3. Run FRST/FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait. If the tool needed a restart please make sure you let the system to restart normally and let the tool completes its run after restart.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please attach it to your reply. Note: If the tool warned you about the outdated version please download and run the updated version.
