URL:MAL detections for reddie, blackfight, epictory on svchost.exe

Hello guys,

My uncle’s computer is infected with something that tries to connect to the urls mentioned in the subject.
Avast blocks every attempt detecting as URL:MAL .

I already removed all detected malware, but something keeps trying to connect to these urls.

Malwarebytes and Avast! came up clean.

Aswmbr gives an error during scan, so I couldn’t attach the log.

Thanks for your help in advance. Sorry for the trouble.

Let me know if this stops it

Hello!

Thanks for your help.

The requested log is attached to this post.

The adwcleaner scan came up clean. So I didnt attached it.

Thanks again!

Could you confirm the alerts have ceased

Hello!

I will keep an eye and keep you informed.

It because I am not in front the computer, I was using teamviewer on my mobile to execute the procedure that you requested on the infected machine.

Avast usually only detects 2 times a day theses randoms URLS (always trying to download a DLL file).

As this infected computer is associated to my avast account, I will be notified if a new detection occurs, so I will be able to give you a more precise position about this issue.

Really thanks for your time!

Hello essexboy!

I returned to give you the feedback after some time monitoring the issue.

Everything is running very well. No more detections for the last 3 days!

Really thanks for your help! You rock!

Thanks for your time!

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
Select the options as shown

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 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.
