URL:MAL problem in svchost.exe

[REDACTED]

Every time my computer starts up or comes out of sleep, I get 2 quick url:mal notifications from Avast I.S. coming from svchost.exe and have no idea what how to clean it. I have attached the mbam, aswmbr, and frst/addition logs so if someone needs them they can see if something is wrong.

Hello



Scan with ZOEK

Temporary disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware protection - instructions here.

• Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  
• Wait patiently until the main console will appear, it may take a minute or two.
• In the main box please paste in the following script:

Sorry report is not complete. zoek.exe still working on it?

[REDACTED]

I think so, but that's what popped up in a notepad file a minute ago and then it started scanning again?

[REDACTED]

Wait until zoek complete work and reboot your PC.

Okay will do. Thank you for helping!

How is the situation now?

[REDACTED]

seems great now! I've rebooted and awakened from sleep mode multiple times just to make sure and it's doing fine now! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:


Download DelFix by Xplode and save it to your desktop.

• Run the tool by right click on the icon and Run as administrator option.
  
• Make sure that these ones are checked:
• Remove disinfection tools
• Purge system restore
• Reset system settings
• Push Run and wait until the tool completes his work.
  
• All tools we used should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)
  

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.
