I'm getting Spamed by Avast free

[jrocket]

Avast mail shield is spamming me with constant blocked threat windows.

The windows stops at 51/51 and then reappears and starts again at 3/ and continues until 51/51.

on and on it goes - non stop.

Window states that Mail shield has blocked a threat.
No further action is required.

Object: Outgoing email "notice of hearing...
Infection: Win32-Evo-gen[Susp]
Action: Deleted
Process: c:\Windows\SysWOW64\svchost.exe

The threat was detected and blocked while sending or receiving an email.

It says that it has blocked the threat but I do not see them in the virus chest - nothing is in the chest.

I have run many full system scans with Avast and malwarebytes - deleted all threats but still these windows.

Please advise me on a course of action.

[Reboot]

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  
• Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
• Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.

THEN

Download and Install Combofix
 
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2
 
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
 
* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here

• Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  
• Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks

• When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
• Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.[/b]
  

Notes:
1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
3.  If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.


Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

Are you still getting the blocks ?   Also are the e-mails being sent to multiple recipients ?

[jrocket]

Looks like everything has returned to normal.

I believe you got it!

The avast window pop-up have also returned to normal.

Everything looks GREAT!

Thank you so much for your help.

How can I return the favor?

[essexboy]

Glad to be of help

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:

Remove ComboFix

• Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
  
• In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall
   (Notice the space between the "x" and "/")
  then click OK
  
  
  
  
• Follow the prompts on the screen
• A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled

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:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware



Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean


It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
