"Avast web shield has blocked a harmful webpage or file" continuous message

[REDACTED]

I can see from other threads I am not the only one with this problem and are hoping you can help. I keep getting a pop up from Avast saying "avast web shield has blocked a harmful webpage or file". It has blocked a few different web sites such as blackled, reddit and reduled.

Im hoping you can help me. Logs attached.
Thanks

Hi, before I clean that alert I would like you to run another programme for me.  Whilst this is running I will create a script to remove anything that I find in the logs

Download the latest version of TDSSKiller from here and save it to your Desktop.
 
 

• Doubleclick on TDSSKiller.exe to run the application
  
  
  
• Then click on Change parameters.
   
  
   
  
• Check the boxes beside Verify Driver Digital Signature, Detect TDLFS file system  and Use KSN to scan objects , then click OK.
   
  
• Click the Start Scan button.
   
   
  
• If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.
   
  
   
  
• If malicious objects are found, they will show in the Scan results and offer three (3) options.
• Ensure Cure is selected, then click Continue => Reboot now to finish the cleaning process.
  
  
• Get the report by selecting Reports

 

• Note: If Cure is not available, please choose Skip instead, do not choose Delete unless instructed.
  

Please copy and paste its contents on your next reply.

[REDACTED]

I have turned my computer on and off a few times and it all looks good, no more pop up messages from Avast!!

Was there something else you wanted to do to tidy up?

[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:

Remove tools

Download and run Delfix



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
