Title: [Help needed] Infection: URL:Mal
Post by: REDACTED on October 24, 2014, 03:45:30 PM
Hi guys, I have a problem I think its malware. I have tried scanning my pc with avast and boot scan also but message still appears (I have attached screenshot for your reference.) I followed the instruction on "Logs to assist in cleaning malware" but still it is not fixed. I have also attached the required logs. Hope someone could help me fix this. If you need any more info just say it so that I could provide asap.

Hi essexboy,

Thank you for the quick response. I did both steps you advised (FRST and AdwCleaner) and so far error message is not popping out anymore! :D I am assuming it is now fixed but I would like to do further testing today like opening other websites just to be sure it won't re-appear. Also, I have attached both logs you asked for just in case you might find anything that still needs to be done on my end. Thanks man for the big help!  :)

Looks good they removed the bits I wanted them to :)

When you are happy let me know and I will tidy up

ei essexboy, the message did not showed up anymore after browsing for a couple of hours to different websites so I think it's safe to say that the malware is out of the system. We can consider this case closed. Big thanks man! :D

In that case methinks I will send you on your merry way :)

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:

Download and run Delfix (http://general-changelog-team.fr/fr/downloads/finish/20-outils-de-xplode/9-delfix)

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/delfix.JPG)


: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article (http://www.forbes.com/sites/eliseackerman/2013/01/11/us-department-of-homeland-security-calls-on-computer-users-to-disable-java/)

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser (http://www.geekstogo.com/2600/how-to-disable-java-in-your-web-browser/) and How to unplug Java from the browser (http://krebsonsecurity.com/how-to-unplug-java-from-the-browser/))

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

CryptoPrevent (http://www.foolishit.com/vb6-projects/cryptoprevent/) install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/CryptoPrevent.JPG)

Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php).

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean


It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
