bestdrivestar.net and anythicago.com malware problems
« on: June 11, 2015, 08:52:19 PM »
I keep getting alerts from Avast about threats trying to direct me to bestdrivestar.net, anythicago.com and atleast one other that I didn't have time to see. When it fires off I get several warnings pop up in quick succession. It even seems to do it when I'm not browsing the internet, it seems to happen at start-up sometimes too.

I've attached the logs from MBAM, FRST and aswMBR.

I hope you can help me resolve this.

Thanks

Scan with ZOEK

Please download ZOEK by Smeenk and save it to your desktop (preferred version is the *.exe one)
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:
Code: [Select]
createsrpoint;
autoclean;
emptyalltemp;
C:\Users\Monica\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences;f
chrdefaults;
bitsadmin /reset /allusers;b
ipconfig /flushdns;b
  • Make sure that Scan All Users option is checked.
  • Push Run Script and wait patiently. The scan may take a couple of minutes.
  • When the scan completes, a zoek-results logfile should open in notepad.
  • If a reboot is needed, it will be opened after it. You may also find it at your main drive (usually C:\ drive)
Post its content into your next reply.

Hi there,

So far so good, it looks like it has worked, no more threat announcements.
Thanks for the help, and the speed with which you provided it.

I've donated a few dollars so you can get a coffee or beer next time you're out.

Thanks again  :)

The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:

=> Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.

Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
Remove disinfection tools
Create registry backup
Purge System Restore

Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here 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.
