Dear Avasters (can I say like that?)!

I would be very grateful if someone from Avast crew could look into my logs and would help me to get rid of problem with “skegnessasc.org/accounts/restorefunction.css”, which, according to Avast, is hiding in my system’s svchost.exe…

Please, help.

Love, Axel.

Oh my! Sorry… Now will be good?

Thank you for changing the link.
A malware removal expert will guide you further.

If it doesn’t happen soon, I will get a huge gun and force one of them to help you ;D

system · 2015-11-05T10:57:05.000Z

Thanks, but, you know, force is never a good option Maybe polite request will do the job? But… May the force be with you

Seriously writing - many thanks, I’ll wait for further instructions.

Done, here’s the log.

So far, so… quiet

If all is well tomorrow (and it should be ) let me know and I will tidy up

system · 2015-11-05T16:22:08.000Z

Sure, thanks! Really, really thanks!

Until now I was always able to deal with such situations, but this was… Argh. I’m not sure where it was hidden - can you enlighten on my mind? Logs aren’t so clear to me… But I’m 100% sure when I caught it… Stupid.

No more life simulating games for my wife, that’s for sure!

Everything looks just fine, so - time to do the cleaning part and time to say many thanks for support and solution!

essexboy · 2015-11-06T17:38:03.000Z

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
