Windows 7 infected with svchost.exe

Viruses and worms
1

I have been getting blocked URL’s from avast for about a month now. It has been on and off and have tried to remove the virus but it keeps coming back. MBAM does not detect it and Avast reports nothing either. I have attached all logs required. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

[*]Press the Fix button just once and wait.
[*]If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
[*]When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
