Web Shield has blocked a harmful webpage
« on: October 30, 2013, 01:29:58 AM »
Pretty much non-stop I am getting this message:

Avast! Web Shield has blocked...
Object:  hxxp://3300cc.com/.../...   (what follows the initial url changes every time as far as I can tell)
Infection:  URL:Mal
Process:  C:\Windows\explorer.exe

I have run the suggested scans and am posting the results.

If I disable my internet connection, the messages stop, so it seems that somebody is trying to make a call.

Hi,



Re-run Adwcleaner, but now make sure to hit Clean button, after the scanning is complete.
Attach me that log.



Then...



Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool by Farbar and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.


  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Under Optional Scan ensure "List BCD" and "Driver MD5" are ticked.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Sorry for barging in here.

Andy, that link is live. You need to change the http://. to hxxp://. It cannot be live for the people on the forums who are already infected. Thank you!

Hi andynaryb and TwinHeadedEagle

On that domain, some additional info.
For some of that info google "3300cc.com malware" - most prevalent flagged is a Kazy variant from there.
Bitdefender Traffic Light has it blacklisted: http://www.urlvoid.com/scan/3300cc.com/
I get a browser difference: Not identical

Google: 234 bytes       Firefox: 609 bytes
Diff:         375 bytes   which is apparently "a padding to disable MSIE and Chrome friendly error page".

To add to the fun, after the reboot,  Avast will no longer run at start-up.  The service is running, but Avast doesn't show up at start-up, and double clicking on the icon does nothing.  So it appears that our friend has started blocking avast.  And IE keeps changing it security setting to block downloading, I can change it, but it just resets it again.  Chrome seems unaffected at this point.

3. Run FRST/FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.

3.  If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.

Things seem to be running well now.  Antivirus is running again, not giving me alerts every second or two. 

IE seems to be acting funny now.  I open the homepage, which is google, and it gives me the "you are about to view pages over a secure connection" popup.  my guess is there were all sorts of settings changed in IE, but that is just a guess.

Nope, no problems now.  I reset IE's settings and it is working as it should now.  Thanks a lot for your help.

Do any of these little tools you had me use have any special removal instructions or can I just delete the files from the desktop?

Thanks again.

Good :)


Please download DelFix by "Xplode" to your Desktop.

Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
  • Remove disinfection tools
  • Create registry backup
  • Purge System Restore

Now click on "Run" button. Wait for the programme completes his work.
All the tools we used should be gone.
Tool will create and open an log report (DelFix.txt)
Note: The report will also be stored on C:\DelFix.txt


> I don't need DelFix log report.



Cheers :)
