"avast web shield has blocked a harmful web page or file." keeps popping up

[REDACTED]

I have followed the directions in "Logs to assist in cleaning malware" (topic 151766) and continue to get popups for objects such as tpsearch.me, search-world.biz, nemo-finder.me... Any help to make this stop happening would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Hang on; going over your logs and will assist you shortly.

First, move FRST64.exe from the Downloads folder to your desktop.
To do this, open File Explorer and navigate to C:\Users\fbo\Downloads and right click on FRST64.exe.  Select CUT from the menu.
Go to your desktop and right click on a blank spot on it.  Select PASTE from the menu.  FRST64.exe should now be on your desktop.
Second. download the attached Fixlist.txt file and save it to the desktop (where FRST64.exe is).

NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system

Run FRST64 by right clicking on the FRST64.exe file, selecting "Run as Administrator..".  The User Account Control may open up; if it does, select Yes to continue to let FRST open and load. 

The tool will check for an updated version of itself every time it loads; please allow it to do this and the program will either inform you it is downloading an updated copy (and to wait until it is safe to continue) or show that it is ready to use (meaning there is no update found) and you can continue on.  Press the Fix button just once and wait.  The tool will create a restore point, process the script and ask for a restart of your system.


Note:  Just click the Fix button; the other settings do not matter on a script run process.

If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.

When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post the log in your next reply.

Thank you!  So far so good...

[dbrisendine]

Can you post/attach the Fixlog.txt file?  This was the result of the fixlist.txt run and I need to verify the working of FRST.  Thanks.

[REDACTED]

Still working great!  Please find Fixlog.txt attached.  Thanks for your help, especially so quickly.
