continuous warning about malware
« on: January 19, 2015, 04:24:42 PM »
hi everyone,

This afternoon I keep getting the same warning about malware.
I have copied the URL (with a change in the address): hXXp://img.virus.analytics.com/js/adr.js?071b83

It pops up every few minutes, or even seconds.

I am not trying to access any new or strange websites, so I am not sure where it comes from.

I know I can do standard things/checks to solve the problem, but I just don't know where to find the right advice.
Can anyone help me find it? I get a bit nervous...

Thanks!

hi Pondus,

thanks for your quick reply!

Dumb question maybe, and I don't want to reject any given help (not all!), but how do I know this Malwarebytes Anti-malware, and the other things that are suggested, is safe software?

Hi,

To answer your Question about Malwarebytes and whether they are Safe or not..

Malwarebytes has an Epicly awesome reputation in the Malware Removal Department. Any googling in general of MalwareBytes is almost always Positive (Of course, you have the few haters, and people who are just out to ruin it's Reputation.)

As for aswMBR: It's an official Avast! Tool created to scan the MBR (Master Boot Record)
FRST: Created by Farbar for this Use. It has no ties to the big AV names like Avast! Trend Micro, Kaspersky, Norton etc, but widely used on all UNITE websites.

UNITE: http://uniteagainstmalware.com/

PLus: Just to back it up more... This site (Forum.avast.com) is an official Avast! Support forum. If we were out to cause damage, they'd ban us. Our 'Main' (Not to offend anyone else (Magna, Valinorum etc) remover, Essexboy has been around since Feb 19th, 2005. So, 1 month until 1 Decade, (And 1 post when posting this) away from 40k Posts..

hi guys,

when restarting I got the message that Malwarebytes was unable to load the anti-rootkit DDA Driver, and the question is whether I want to reboot the system and attempt to install the Driver.
Uhmm....do I want that?  (Reboot sounds scary, am I going to loose stuff)?

exporting the Malwarebytes log failed (I feel so clumsy), is there anywhere I can still find it (in the folders)?

hi Essexboy,

the 3rd program, aswmbr.exe  has stopped working twice, in the middle of the scan. I get the message that Avast anti toolkit has stopped working.
What can I do now?

open Malwarebytes > top right History > left side application logs

you should now see a list of logs..latest at top .... we want the one called scan log > double click on the name scan log

it should now open, in lower left corner is a export tab ... select tekst file/txt ... name it, save it, attach here
