Yet another URL:MAL SVCHOST infection...

system · 2015-07-07T21:58:20.000Z

Hi,
I went there as I recently got warning messages from AVAST (free edition) telling those attacks were blocked.
I read here that a couple of users got the same trouble and a post (Re: SVCHOST.EXE process with URL:MAL infection) from TwinHeadedEagle reporting the method to treat it.

So I got ZOEK.exe to have the log on my PC. The log file is joined here… (zoek-results-2015-08-07.txt).
Could you help me please to remove this malware?

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool 64bit and save it to your Desktop.

Open notepad by pressing the Windows Key + R Key, typing in Notepad in the Run dialog and then pressing Enter. Please copy the contents of the quote box below. To do this highlight the contents of the box and right click on it and select copy. Paste this into the open notepad. Save it to your desktop as fixlist.txt

Start CreateRestorePoint: EmptyTemp: CMD: bitsadmin /reset /allusers End

NOTE. It’s important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system

Run FRST64 by right clicking on the FRST64.exe file, selecting “Run as Administrator…”. The User Account Control may open up; if it does, select Yes to continue to let FRST open and load.

The tool will check for an updated version of itself every time it loads; please allow it to do this and the program will either inform you it is downloading an updated copy (and to wait until it is safe to continue) or show nothing (meaning there is no update found) and you can continue on. Press the Fix button just once and wait. The tool will create a restore point, process the script and ask for a restart of your system.

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 (Fixlog.txt). Please post it to your reply. Also, tell me how your system is running now.

Hi dbrisendine,

Thanks for your fast answer.
I followed your method with FRST64.exe and I got it’s log report which I join here.

After the reboot I have not notice the last messages of AVAST but I think I have to wait a little bit to affirm that the problem is solved don’t you?
