url:mal issue

Viruses and worms
1

I’m working on a clients PC virus/malware removal. I keep getting a url:mal notice from the network shield when I run avast and malware bytes they come up clean. I downloaded and ran OTL I will attach the logs. When I tried running the aswMBR.exe I get a pop up window that states “aswMBR.exe is not a valid Win32 application.” Help please and thank you.

The otl log is too big to post its 204KB and the max is 192. So i’m going to split it into to txt files.

This is a sirfef infection but they are in the process of changing at the moment so I am not sure if Combofix will work. If it stalls we will run a second programme

I’m running OTL with the commands you provided. When it got to the host part a message box appeared stating “otl
cannot create file C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.” I clicked ok the box disappeared and otl started the “resetting of the HOSTS file”. It has been stuck there for an hour I haven’t closed out of otl, but I think its froze. Should I restart otl or do something different.

7

Close out OTL as that is the last command and continue with the rest

8

quickscan log. running combofix now.

9

combofix stalled while writing the log files. Restarted and ran RK here are the log files.

10

Still getting the notification.

11

Sorry I overlooked the combofix.txt file attaching it now.

12

Are you still getting alerts? Could you post a screenshot

Download AdwCleaner from here to your desktop
Run AdwCleaner and select Delete

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/AdwCleaner.GIF

Once done it will ask to reboot, allow this
On reboot a log will be produced please attach that

13

adwcleaner logs.

14

Screen shots of alerts. I had edit down the screen shots to fit it within the 200 KB limit.

15

Do they occur just in firefox or is it all browsers.

Could you delete your current copy of OTL please and download the latest version (had some firefox refinements added)

Download OTL to your Desktop

[*]Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/OTL_Main_Tutorial.gif

[*]Select All Users

[*]Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
[*]When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.

16

firefox is the only browser that gives me the alerts. There was only the OTL.txt log, no extra.txt.

17

the extra.txt is only at first OTL run

18

Pondus, am I doing something wrong? I deleted the previous OTL.exe and downloaded the latest version. Downloaded to desktop, copied/pasted the custom commands selected all users check box. closed out of everything and clicked quickscan like instructed.
