My computer is infected with Url:Mal

[REDACTED]

There have been several pop-ups from Avast today and I'm worried. I have posted the logs for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, FRST and Addition below, and will add the logs for aswMBR in another post as I didn't get to save them (my computer blue-screened while it was scanning).

Hope I can get some help quickly! Would really appreciate it!

You have both AVG and Avast running .. One must go

CAUTION :  This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Download the attached fislist.xtx to the same loactaion as FRST

Run FRST and press Fix
On completion a log will be generated please post that

Hello essexboy,

Here is the generated log:

Hope it helps!

Could you confirm the alerts have ceased

I have not had any alerts so far, so it seems to have worked! I will message/post in this thread if anything comes up again. Thank you very much!

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
Select the options as shown



: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select  Remove Java Runtime.  Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version



Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme 

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