Url:Mal svchost.exe Infection

Hello Avast Community :slight_smile: i hope everyone is doing great
i saw that many people having the same problem, i keep getting the pop up Avast window about this sneaky Url:Mal
in the attachment are the log files needed, i got the first warning from avast when i tried to install IDM from this website: http://freecrackfilesdownload.blogspot.com/2014/07/download-latest-idm-with-crack-files.html
few days ago, since then i have some problems with the internet browsing, i am afraid the problem will evolve if i dont fix it now! especially when i have less than a month to graduate, and i need my PC to do all the work.
here is a photo of the Avast pop up window i get:

Thank you essexboy :slight_smile:
i followed the steps you mentioned, txt files requested are in the attachment

Have the alerts now ceased ?

Been half an hour an no alerts! i think the problem is solved ;D cant believe that :slight_smile:
i really appreciate your help, thank you very much essexboy
i was wondering, why those Malwares are hard to find/fix? not even with the best Antiviruses? cuz this is the first time i fix something in such way, interesting.

This one appears to use the old(ish) trick of adding a bits job to windows

If all is well tomorrow let me know and I will tidy up

Seems like everything is okay so far, no warnings or anything :slight_smile:
what is the next step if there is any? and what about the programs downloaded, which to keep and which to remove?
please let me know if i need to do any other steps. Thanks.

Oh, forgot to mention! when browsing the internet, some pages takes time to load, sometimes they dont fully load. is it related to the previous problem its just my internet provider?

Empty your temporary internet files and see if that helps

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:

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

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/CryptoPrevent.JPG

Malwarebytes.

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.

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read this little guide Best security practices Keep safe :wave:

Sorry for the late reply, i did the last steps you mentioned :slight_smile: everything was perfect for the past few days (Y)
many thanks for your great help essexboy.
regards.

My pleasure :slight_smile:
