wpad.browserupdatecheck.in/wpad.dat infection
« on: July 06, 2015, 08:58:43 PM »
I have had popups from avast, every 10 minutes or so, that it just blocked an infection http://wpad.browserupdatecheck.in/wpad.dat. This has been going on for about 4 days now

Could you also attach the search txt as well :)

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
 
Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
 
  • Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Select  additions at the bottom
  • Press Scan button.

  • It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from. 
  • Please attach both logs generated.
