URL blocked MAL when i try to open my browser, it says this is being blocked. i open firefox, this popup from avast comes, and then firefox.exe runs using damn near all of the system resources, but the browser never actually opens on my screen. its been doing this for a while now. i was surfing google, and was reading up on something cooking related, and it blocked 3-4 links saying they were viruses, and then now im getting this. any help please? I can find nothing else wrong with the PC other than i can not open a browser. Although, if i run firefox as an administrator, it opens, and blocks nothing? this is extremely weird.
DOH! Edit:
I forgot to say. I use windows 7. 
Hi helpmepls111,
You probably have a Alureon AT.gen infection from that site (now dead), a trojan downloader, wait for essexboy to help you out with cleansing your machine,

@ TLOTS,
Although you have the same problem and I sincerely appreciate you providing the necessary logs, it will confuse the current thread that the OP started if we help you in this thread. Therefore I am asking you to start a new thread in this section of the forum (Viruses and Worms)…just cut and past your post and attach your logs and we will help you there.
In addition, please tell us when your problem started and how your machine is acting.
I have notified Essexboy and he will work with you to help you with your malware removal.
Please do not make any further changes to your machine after you have provided the logs.
IMPORTANT: If you are on a home network, disconnect the affected machine from the network. Do not share a USB/flash drive with this affected machine. Do not use this machine unless Essexboy instructs you do to malware removal instructions; use a different machine to check email, sync your phone, etc. if possible.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you again for understanding about starting a new thread.
