Browser Hijacks - Web Shield 27,241 and growing
« on: June 02, 2015, 05:39:57 PM »
Hi Avast community.

I think I received a browser hijack. I keep receiving a pop up from vast showing me

Avast Web Shield has blocked a harmful webpage or file

infection: URL:Mal


And now there are a few others.

How do I clean my system?

Hi Eddy,

 I have run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware a few times now

First time it found numerous items and I deleted them all
Second time nothing found

Kept receiving pop ups from Avast

Third time I ran Malwarebytes nothing found but still Avast pop ups every few minutes.

Follow the instructions and attach the log files in a post in that forum.
A malware removal expert will have a look at them and guide you on what to do.

One question Edddy,

 Where do I need to post the logs. Do I do it here?
