Help, "Malicious URL blocked" pops up all the time

[XhmX]

Hello, I have no idea what happened, but this message has been popping up since yesterday evening whenever I open a new IE9/Firefox window or Tab:

Object: hXXp://76.76.100.10/
Infection: URL:Mal
Process: C:\Windows\explorer.exe

I don't understand why. I didn't download anything suspicious, nor did I visit any potentially dangerous sites...
I'd appreciate any help.
I've attached a log created by Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware.

Please 'modify' your post change the URL from http to hXXp, to break the link and avoid accidental exposure to suspect sites, thanks.

This needs further analysis by a malware removal specialist:

My apologies, you're totally right. Edited the message.

I will do just that, thank you.

Food for thought... Well, what I meant is it was a normal day, I did nothing out of the ordinary, hence my surprise.

I've attached all the logs the recommended programs have created.
For some reason, OTL did not create an Extras.txt file, however.  Will those logs suffice or do I have to run the program again (scanning took ages)?

Do you use the Avant browser ?

Please RIGHT-CLICK HERE and Save As (in IE it's "Save Target As", in FF it's "Save Link As") to download Silent Runners.

• Save it to the desktop.
• Run Silent Runner's by doubleclicking the "Silent Runners" icon on your desktop.
• You will receive a prompt:

Do you want to skip supplementary searches?
click NO[/list]

• If you receive an error just click OK and double-click it to run it again - sometimes it won't run as it's supposed to the first time but will in subsequent runs.
• You will see a text file appear on the desktop - it's not done, let it run (it won't appear to be doing anything!)
  
• Once you receive the prompt All Done!, open the text file on the desktop, copy that entire log, and paste it here.
  

*NOTE* If you receive any warning message about scripts, please choose to allow the script to run.

Absolutely not, I didn't even know such a thing exists!

Here's the log:

Ta I will do some checking out on that file then

OK lets try this please - let me know if you made any changes

• Select Tools and then Internet Options.
• Click the Connections tab.
• If you are using a LAN, click the LAN Settings button. If you are using a Dial-up or Virtual Private Network connection, select the necessary connection and click the Settings button.
• Make sure the 'automatically detect proxy settings' is checked
• Make sure the 'use a proxy automatic configuration script' option is not checked
• OK out .

Hello essexboy,
No, I do not use LAN, but all the settings in the IE9 are just like you have described, I haven't made any changes. Are there any settings I should check in Firefox, too?

By the way, fingers crossed, for some inexplicable reason, I had no pop-ups today. For the last past days, they have been driving me crazy, yesterday evening I ran all the tests, provided necessary logs, today I turned on the computer... and Avast has remained silent. Weird. Did those tests reset some settings or something like that?

[essexboy]

Not sure, I will await the results of the other threads first

I think I know when and where I caught that nasty malware:

It's sad you can't be sure that sites you like to visit aren't safe anymore.  Pondus was so right.
