Well this is a common one that apparently eluded me. Some daft person posted a broken link on one of my regular forums (it was one of those links that was automatically prefixed with “https” despite already having it) and it took me to a malicious url.
Not sure if anything bad came of it. After all, I’ve always got the noscript and adblock running, Avast didn’t detect anything, and the page was completely blank. But I’m dropping some link scans and logs, just to be sure. Because I’m paranoid.
I don’t see anything to worry about, but there are a few things that is best to fix:
Open notepad
Copy/paste the underneath code in it
Safe the file as fixlist.txt in the same folder as where you have Farbar
Start Farbar
Click the Fix button
Reboot
Run a new scan with Farbar and attach the new logs.
Let us know how the system is behaving.
Toolbar: HKLM - No Name - {318A227B-5E9F-45bd-8999-7F8F10CA4CF5} - No File

FF Extension: No Name - wrc@avast.com [Not Found]
And here’s the log for ya. This remove some junk from IE? I seem to remember Avast catching something else related to that in a scan a while back. That’s odd considering I never use IE. :-\
Eh maybe it was one of my parents being foolish again.
All seems good to me.
If you don’t have any problems with browsing, using applications and such…
Try to keep it that way
You can safely remove Farbar and the logs it created now.
No use to keep Farbar since it is updated frequently, so if you need it in the future again, just download the latest version and run it.
