Transfercom.net malware alert when opening browser

system · 2015-08-15T08:18:22.000Z

Hi, I’m new to this forum. I have just started getting a malware warning message (4 actually) each time i open a browser (IE or Firefox). The warning says a threat has been detected: URL http://transfercom.net/collection/00000056/59903F01 and that this is malware.

I have done complete boot time scan which found some low risk bits which are now gone but still get this message each time I open a browser. There doesn’t seem to be a lot about it by googling. Can anyone advise / help please?

Thanks Ricardo

Follow instructions here https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
attach Malwarebytes and Farbar Recovery Scan Tool logs … 3 logs total

see below the box you write in … Attachments and other options

Thanks for the reply. I did the Malwarebytes bit and it found 92 issues 2 were trojans. Strange that Avast’s scan didn’t pick these issues up. I saved the issues to quarantine - should I now delete them?

I obviously used my browser to post this reply and the ‘transfercom.net’ malware alert has now gone. I have attached the logs from Malwarebytes for interest (!).

I think running that software has done the trick - many thanks for your advice.

Probably PUP and avast pup drtectin is default off

Remove all mbam found as instructed

Also run frst as instructed as there will be leftover files needed removal by a expert

Conduit toolbar stuff

The FRST logs will be needed to find this one

Here are the logs from FRST and aswMBR.
They look pretty impenetrable to me!

It looks better if it appears as gobble de gook

Here are the fixlog and adwClean logs.
Do you think I’m clean now - feel like I’ve been to hospital!

Any tidying up to do?

Many thanks again.

Essexboy will remove the tools used when back online

You are now discharged

Subject to no further problems

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

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
Select the options as shown

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:

Malwarebytes

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com

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

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