I keep getting the avast pop up saying its blocking a threat called URL:mal, i have noticed my computer running slow since this, i ran the usual system tools and also malewarebytes. restart and tada, its back. any idea how to get rid of this?
This is usually an indication of an underlying hidden or undetected infection and avast is preventing it from calling home.
This needs further analysis by a malware removal specialist:
Go to this topic http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 for information on Logs to assist in cleaning malware. Use the information about getting and using the tools and attach the logs here, not in the LOGS topic.
i ran malwarebytes and frst64, attached is the logs, i tried to run aswmbr, i attempted it 3 times, all 3 were still running after 24 hours, should it take that long?
Hard to say how long it might take - system resources, CPU, RAM and importantly how much data is on your hard disk. Though 24hrs, does seem excessive.
I will try and get one of the malware removal specialists to take a look.
The alerts should cease after the FRST fix
