« Reply #45 on: October 08, 2013, 03:55:16 PM »
Hello,
I'm having the same problem as Tweaker, and wanted to see if the solution was the same.
I have Avast, and keep getting an alert, sometimes 12 in a row related to t.mclarenz.net.  Then I start hearing 3 -4 audio advertisements coming through the computer.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Could you run the following programmes please and attach the logs

Download OTL  to your Desktop
Secondary link
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.


  • Select All Users
  • Select LOP and Purity
  • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in
netsvcs
BASESERVICES
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
c:\program files (x86)\Google\Desktop
c:\program files\Google\Desktop
dir "%systemdrive%\*" /S /A:L /C
CREATERESTOREPOINT

  • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
    • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
    • Attach  both logs
THEN

Download aswMBR.exe ( 4.5mb ) to your desktop.
 Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it  Click the "Scan" button to start scan

Is this what you're referring to?
The ads seem to have stopped.  Haven't had a pop up in about 10 hours.

In that case methinks I will send you on your merry way :)

Subject to no further problems   :)

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems 

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean  :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset  System Restore points:

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button.  It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. 

Clear Restore Points

Go Start > All Programmes > Accessories > System tools
Right click Disc Cleanup and select run as administrator
When it pops up at the first prompt select OK after it has done some calculations the tabs will appear
Select More Options tab
Press Sytem Restore and Shadow Copies Cleanup button

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

If you use on-line banking then as an added layer of protection install Trusteer Rapport

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide  How did I get infected in the first place ?Keep safe  :wave:

I seem to be having the same problem as the other 2 people in this thread: problems with Firefox loading correctly, multiple audio ads playing with no discernible source, and the occasional crash (which actually happened just before posting this). Do you think you could give me a hand as well?
