Malicious URL http://specrtop.org/a/
« on: May 03, 2013, 06:30:44 AM »
Today after connecting my laptop to my external harddrive, my Avast starts showing this alert message very frequently.

Malicious URL blocked
object: http://specrtop.org/a/
infection: URL:Mal
Process: C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe

I've tried to run Malwarebyte which was unsuccessful. And my window don't let me install programs like adwclener, OTL.

Please give me some advice.

Thanks.

Hi this will be a tad complicated to remove but here we go.  The USB was infected :

Download McShield to your desktop and install
It will initially run a scan and show the result as a toaster by the system clock
Then in the control centre select scanner and tick unhide items on flash drives

Plug in the drive and McShield will start a scan

Then get the log which will be here :

Start > all programs > MCShield > logs > all scans

And post that

THEN

Using windows explorer go to C:\Windows\System32
Right click Wscript.exe
Select Properties
Select Security Tab
Select Advanced
Select Owner
Select Edit
Select your account
Click Apply
OK the warning
Click OK



Then delete Wscript.exe to the recycle bin

FINALLY

Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems

Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot

Run OTL

OK lets work outside of windows

Download the following three programmes to your desktop :
 
 
1.  Rufus 
 
For 64bit systems  
2.  Windows 7 64bit RC
3.  Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64 
 
Insert the USB stick Then run Rufus
 
Select the ISO file on the desktop via the ISO icon. 
 
Press Start Burn

Then copy FRST to the same USB   
 
   
 
 
 
Insert the USB into the sick computer and start the computer.  First ensuring that the system is set to boot from USB 
Note: If you are not sure how to do that follow the instructions Here
 
 
When you reboot you will  see this although yours will say windows 7.

At the command prompt type the following  :
 
notepad and press Enter
The notepad opens. Under File menu select Open
Select "Computer" and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad. 
In the command window type e:\frst64.exe and press Enter 
Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive. 
The tool will start to run. 
When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer. 

Press Scan button. 
It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Windows 8 screen shots
 
When you reboot you will  see this.

 :( :(
Rufus is not detecting my external drives. I have tried with two different drives. Both of the drives are seen in My Computer and can be accessed. But not detected by Rufus.

Do you have a cd burner on the computer that will burn the windows ISO to a CD as bootable i.e. Nero ?
