Hi,
I’ve recently been getting avast pop ups saying that Web Shield has blocked a harmful webpage or file. The object is https://codegv.ru. This occurs on any webpage I browse either through Chrome or Firefox.
I’ve followed the instructions on https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 and have attached my logs for MBAM, FRST and aswMBR.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Let me know if this stops it

Hi essexboy,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately it didn’t work and I’m still getting avast pop ups on chrome. However it has stopped on firefox.
I’ve attached the fixlog.
That is because some numpty (moi) left an extension on Chrome that I meant to kill

Do you have an Acestreaming addon in chrome ? Could you disable that please
Also could you run a fresh FRST scan please

That seems to have done the trick.
not seeing anymore pop ups from avast.
fixlog attached
is there anything else i need to do?
Nope, just I need new glasses as I missed those two elements 
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:
Download and run Delfix

: Keep Java Updated :
WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)
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

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

hi essexboy,
i thought i was in the clear, but for some reason, i’m now getting random pop ups from avast still telling me about this url mal on chrome.
should i do another FRST scan?
Do you have synch on chrome ? If so it is being re-installed every time you sign in.
Yes a fresh FRST will enable me to remove it
yes, by default chrome had apps and extensions synced. i have now unchecked these in the settings.
i re-downloaded FRST 64 bit version and tried to run it, but it came up with an error message saying that it was not valid Win32 application even though i’m running 64 bit. also tried downloading through incognito mode and still the same issue.
interestingly avast is now popping up with a message saying it’s blocked a harmful file from the FRST download page. snapshot attached.
is there a way to get around this?
Yes temporarily disable Avast whilst you download FRST.
ok thanks that worked
fresh FRST scan logs attached
Hmm it is showing in FF now but not chrome
