Title: URL:Mal Infection
Post by: bburg5 on March 01, 2012, 08:54:43 PM

I continue to get numerous alerts from Avast in regards to an Infection: URL:Mal that it stops. How can I get this fixed?

I downloaded Spybot- but it freezes about everytime I try and run it. I also noticed that my computer(programs) is starting to "Not Respond" a lot and it is very annoying with hard shutdown done several times to get things or programs to shutdown when I cannot get them to do it from task manager.

Thanks inadvance for any help...

Might be a bug if it keeps coming up or if you opened lots of tabs, they can be viruses on the websites

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Everything seems to be back to normal. I have none of the issues I had previously. Thanks again for all the help.

Post by: essexboy on March 09, 2012, 07:51:39 PM

Subject to no further problems :)

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Run OTL

Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
Quote
:Commands
[resethosts]
[emptytemp]
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[Reboot]

Then click the Run Fix button at the top
Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

Click Start.
Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab.
Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
Click Yes to confirm.
Click OK.

(http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/images/javaicon.gif) Your Java is out of date.
Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Please follow these steps to remove older version of Java components and upgrade the application.

Upgrading Java:

Go to this site (http://java.com/en/) and click Do I have Java
It will check your current version and then offer to update to the latest version

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7729/mbamicontw5.gif) Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php).

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker (http://www.filehippo.com/updatechecker/) and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit

Microsoft Windows Update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com)

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ? (http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/225044-preventing-malware-and-safe-computing/)Keep safe :wave:

Thanks, essexboy. I was having an identical problem. After trying a few other tools (Malwarebytes & Norton Power Eraser), TDSSKiller was exactly what I needed! You brought a couple of hours of frustration to a pleasant end.

No problem - is the system OK now or would you like me to look for remnants ?

I think I am having the same problem as the original poster, however all of the scans I've run come up clean. I've even done boot scans and nothing has come up. I think I've attached all the required logs. Should I go ahead and download that TDSSKiller and try that?

Ok sorry, the other poster told me to come over here and I saw this thread so I didn't think I needed to make a new one.
