Malicious URL Blocked Issue (same as problem in davidle thread)

You got the popup from McAfee?  Is that what you mean?

Please run the new scan with OTL and attach that log. 

[dobber82]

yeah, it was a popup from McAfee, that's right.

I have run the OTL again and attached the log here.

Cheers,

David

[jeffce]

Did you run the tool I provided to remove McAfee?

[dobber82]

If by tool you mean the custom codes to copy and paste into OTL and run then yes I did.

I ran both sets that you gave me.

You have a chance to look over that last log? How do things look?

Computer is operating at 100% but just want to follow through with you on tying up any odds and ends.

Thanks again,

David

I am sorry....I thought that I attached that tool for you to use but evidently it didn't take.  Please download the tool from the following site, run it and then reboot your system and that should remove McAfee for you completely.  Let me know if you are still receiving the popups from McAfee.

No worries, thanks for your guidance.

Okay, I just ran that .exe and McAfee seems to now be gone, no pop ups anymore.

You think I am now fully roadworthy again?

Should I remove those various tools now from my computer too or just make a folder of malware removal items and move them to documents? Hopefully I will not need them again any time soon though 

Seriously many thanks for all your help.

[jeffce]

Great!  Glad that is not popping any longer.

Stick with me we are almost done.  We need to check and be sure nothing is still hiding out. 

Malwarebytes

I see that you have Malwarebytes already on your computer.  Please open Malwarebytes, update it and then run a Quick Scan.  Save the log that is created for your next reply.
----------

Please run a free online scan with the ESET Online Scanner
Note: You will need to use Internet Explorer for this scan[/i]

• Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use
  
• Click Start
  
• When asked, allow the ActiveX control to install
• Click Start
  
• Make sure that the options Remove found threats is NOT selected and the option Scan unwanted applications is selected.
  
• Click Scan (This scan can take several hours, so please be patient)
  
• Once the scan is completed, you may close the window
• Use Notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
  
• Copy and paste that log as a reply to this topic

In your next reply please attach the Malwarebytes and ESET logs.  :)

[dobber82]

Okay will do Jeffce.

One quick question, can I be working online while these last two scans are operating or do they have to be run while I'm not using other processes on the computer?

[jeffce]

It would be best to let them run on their own.  Usually Malwarebytes will take about five minutes and ESET maybe an hour but that really varies.  Of the two I would not work while running ESET because you will have to deactivate your antivirus anyway through the duration of the scan.  I hope that answered your question? 

[dobber82]

Yeah, thats grand thanks.

I will just run them both this evening and post the logs tonight or in the morning and you can take a look whenever you get a moment tomorrow then.

Cheers,

David

[jeffce]

Sounds good.   

[dobber82]

I have attached the MBAM Log and it seems that it gave the all clear.

I did also run the ESET in Explorer and it took quite a while and gave a reading saying that it didn't detect anything malicious BUT I cannot seem to find its log report file. I don't seem to have any ESET files on my C Drive that I can find. Any thoughts on how I might find it without having to run a new report?

Cheers,

David

[dobber82]

I checked out their "How can I view the ESET Online Scanner log file?" entry in their FAQ but I don't have any ESET files under Program Files and the start search doesn't find anything either. I didn't select to remove ESET software (which is an option) after it runs its scan so I am not sure what happened but the report didn't detect anything malicious anyway.

[dobber82]

Hi Jeffce,

For completeness sake I ran another ESET scan with Explorer but after it completed again I don't seem to have any kind of txt log or output at all other than the screen saying  the scan is complete and no threats were detected.

I took a screen shot of what it looks like when it's finished and attached here.

Not sure if I'm missing something here but can't seem to find an alternative.

Cheers,

David

Hi,

Yes if no log was created that normally means that there were no infections found.

How is your system running?
