URL:MAL Infection - Avast Popup Each Time IE Opens

Viruses and worms
1

Avast popup shows blocked…

Object: [Random URLs here]
Infection: URL:Mal
C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe

…each time IE starts. This is one of the nastiest infections I’ve come across. Boot time scan comes up nothing. MBAM comes up nothing. TDSSKiller comes up nothing.

MBAM, FRST and aswMBR logs attached. More than willing to rerun any scan. Thanks in advance for the help.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

[*]Right-click on
https://sites.google.com/site/cannedfixes/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/FRST.gif
icon and select
https://sites.google.com/site/cannedfixes/home/hosted-images-tools/RunAsAdmin.jpg
Run as Administrator to start the tool.
(XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
[*]Press the Fix button just once and wait.
[*]If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
[*]When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

How is the situation now?

Haven’t seen a pop yet. Tentatively optimistic! (Should I be optimistic?)

Of course, I am sure 100%.

Download and install Adblock Plus

Glad we could help.

The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:

Download DelFix by Xplode and save it to your desktop.

[*]Run the tool by right click on the
http://www.imgdumper.nl/uploads6/51a5ce45267c1/51a5ce45263de-delfix.png
icon and Run as administrator option.
[*]Make sure that these ones are checked:

[]Remove disinfection tools
[]Purge system restore
[*]Reset system settings

[*]Push Run and wait until the tool completes his work.
All tools we used should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:[B]DelFix.txt)

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.

Regards.
