Looks like my laptop is infected with this globalroot nonsense. I have followed instructions on a previous post for fixing this and the log files are attached. Your help is greatly appreciated.
*Note: I am currently running aswMBR, and will attach its log file upon completion.

Here is the aswMBR log.

Thank you very much. I haven't seen the "malicious URL blocked" message since implementing your solution. Logs are attached.

[essexboy]

Could you attach the larger log at C:\TDSSKiller date time please

[dotcom]

Here you go.

[essexboy]

Could you re-run TDSSKiller with the same parameters
When this element shows select delete :

\Device\Harddisk0\DR0 ( TDSS File System )

Avast will alert as the files are moved

How is the computer behaving now ?

[dotcom]

Okay, done. The computer seems to be doing well. Thank you very much for all of your help. Do I need to do anything else?

[essexboy]

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



: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article and this article.
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

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

• Microsoft Windows Update
