Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.
Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
  
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
  

Please attach it to your reply.

when frst ran I got a ton of pop up's saying process AvastUI.exe FRST64.exe chrome.exe and others were being blocked for URL:MAL now as my computer has rebooted I am just getting Chrome.exe blocked URL:MAL and svchost.exe is not popping up. I foresee a reinstall in my future.

Uninstall Avast in program features and then, download Avast Uninstall Utility and run.

Alright then what?

[REDACTED]

Do you have a pop-up still?

[REDACTED]

No pop up windows has came up

[REDACTED]

reinstalled avast and all the pop up blocked notifications came flooding back. svchost.exe and avastUI.exe blocked.

[REDACTED]

actually more persistent than ever now with svchost.exe blocked URL:MAL

[REDACTED]

Re-run zoek and run this script:

Code: [Select]

createsrpoint;
autoclean;
emptyalltemp;
ipconfig /flushdns;b
bitsadmin /reset /allusers;b

[REDACTED]

ran it restarted computer 5 mins later after boot up multiple blocked svchost.exe issues. got anything else before I reformat?

[REDACTED]

please keep in mind that last part wasn't meant to sound short with you. I apperciate your help through all this. Just getting frustrated with this issue. Btw is there any chance this might be a false positive issue on avast's end. I don't actually have any pop up issues and the computer runs fine and all cleaners come back clean. But the moment avast shields are on It says it blocked a URL:MAL from opening. No url mals have ever opened though when the shield is off or even when avast was uninstalled.

Stand by, Avast team will need to check this, it is very possible that this is false detection.

[REDACTED]

Alright I'll be on stand by to hear what is said about this issue.

Just as a heads up for this issue. my machine is clean all scanners say, and I double checked my windows updates and had 3 windows security updates that were optional I installed them, and restarted my machine. No more svchost.exe pop up blocks. I will report in over the next couple days if it has changed, but for now my avast block MAL:URL issue seems fixed from those updates.

[REDACTED]

after hours of no issues I opened up one new tab in fire fox and the svchost popped up again. lame... any word on false positive yet?
