I know this thing has been showing up a lot recently, And I can confirm where of the origins it came from. It was bundled in a download for a ‘Jar of beans’ emulator as seen here. http://puu.sh/iHDcr/3a7cde1cd4.png On techmacho.com
Unfortunately even though I know where it came from I know not how to get rid of this pesky thing, have done several sweeps with multiple antivirus’s and yet it presistantly pings avast with the files, firefox.exe avast itself when scanning the network, scvhost.exe occasionally and other key things.
From what I can tell, It’s trying to log traffic on the network, I dont know how far that actually goes though.
I have included all the required logs and would like to see if this problem can be solved as it seems to be a new one specific to this website.
I’m having the same issue but no idea what program dropped this on me. I initially had some fake cleaner and dealz on chrome. Thought I got rid of them then these strange warnings from avast about
http:\wpad.browserupdatecheck.in/wpad.dat
feel totally lost and in the dark after running multiple cleanup tools. Still Avast keeps warning me something’s wrong. I just don’t have a clue what it is even after uninstalling reinstalling chrome. It happens on chrome and IE.
Uuuuh… Basically all the topics have the same response as to what to do but, It was stated not to do any scans without being told to do so. I’m going to go out on a limb and say I should follow the other topic’s advice?
Please download ZOEK by Smeenk and save it to your desktop (preferred version is the *.exe one)
Temporary disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware protection - instructions here.
[*]Make sure that Scan All Users option is checked.
[*]Push Run Script and wait patiently. The scan may take a couple of minutes.
[*]When the scan completes, a zoek-results logfile should open in notepad.
[*]If a reboot is needed, it will be opened after it. You may also find it at your main drive (usually C:\ drive)
Still has not been solved, I have learned a few things since however. First off, the virus only pings the network whenever there is activity on it. Such as turning it on and off. Second off, Changing the Mac address and IP doesn’t stop it either. I’m going to be trying to outright block the site but… problem still presists.
