Url:mal

Viruses and worms
1

idk what my uncle did to get this thing. but it seems like its relentless. i recently found a file in the computers recovery drive called info.exe (original file name starturl.exe, creator xss, made in germany) and in the windows folder a zip folder called ubd.txt containing various malicious infected ips. theres about 20-40 sites in it. and before the ips are listed it shows 20-40 legitimate sites with a weird code at the end ex. wxww.youtube.xom^^10365^^^^1^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^none^-1^0^^. each ending is different. my main concern is if the two are related. also i found d:\autorun.inf with this code [AUTORUN]
SHELLEXECUTE=Info.exe folder.htt 480 480

are these malicious? and does it have to do with the url:mal warning popup avast shows?

If you are running a 32-bit OS, run a boot scan with Avast.

Tell us if anything is found.

it does not allow windows update shortcut to be used. or manually going to the windows update site.
