Hello folks,
Got a bit of an odd one here. After being away from my computer for a few days I came back to find that Avast was reporting soemthing along the lines of Url:GEN/Mal2 (the exact designation escapes me and I don't see it in logs) in wscript.exe in c:\Windows\System32, telling me that a "malicious URL has been blocked", almost as soon as the machine loads into Windows.
I'm not sure exactly what is going on as the computer isn't exhibiting any odd behavior, I'm not having issues with redirecting or shortcuts - again, everything seems normal. This just started popping up.
I'm going to begin posting the logs as directed in the sticky thread at the top of the forum in my following replies. Any help as to what might be going on with this would be greatly appreciated!
In the spirit of full disclosure, this comes at a bad time - as of Wednesday night this machine will be out of commission for about two weeks while I move. If this happens and the issue persists, I'll update when it's back online, of course.
Thanks!
