Title: im pretty sure I Have some malware or a virus or something
Post by: crimsonking024 on April 20, 2011, 05:08:20 AM

I have scanned using both malware programs I have (Malwarebytes, and IOBIT MALWARE) and find nothing. I cannot update however with avast so that makes me think that a virus is definitely causing that. I have turned off peerblock and all my firewalls and it still wont work.

here is the print out from roguekiller but i need some help interpreting it please.

IMHO the hosts file looks good, it's blocking bad entries... but run the tool Dieselman recommended anyway.

Then try this: Go to Avast, Settings (upper right corner), Update --> set to "no proxy" and "always connected to the internet", try again updating.

If it won't help, the start the Avast installer again from the control panel / add/remove programs and scroll down on the left side and choose "Repair".
Reboot and retry updating.
