Need help with http:\\wpad.browserupdatecheck.in/wpad.dat
« on: July 07, 2015, 02:21:26 AM »
So I downloaded an emulator from a site that I probably shouldn't have and now Avast is popping up with threats every few seconds with the name in the description. I've cleared everything I can from Programs and Features as well as my browsers. It's still stuck in my registery and I can't get it out. I could really use some help...

Download the attached file.  Rename the file tcpip.reg and double click on it to start the merge into the registry.
Notice that you will have to do this as an Administrator or the merge will not work.
Reboot your system and report on the status of your computer then.  Thanks.

Clean up of Malware Removal Tools
Now that we are through using these tools, let's clean them off your system so that should you ever need to have malware removed again (we hope not) fresh, updated copies will be downloaded.

  • Download Delfix from here to your desktop and double click it to start the program
  • Ensure Remove disinfection tools is ticked
    Also tick:
  • Activate UAC
  • Create registry backup
  • Purge system restore
  • Reset system settings

  • Click Run
  • The program will run for a few moments and then notepad will open with a log. Please paste the log in your next reply.

You can delete any log files left on your desktop as these are no longer needed.

I have the same issue as well, Avast pops up every few seconds with a message, 'malware blocked'. I also upgraded to Win 10 in the meantime, no change. The process is usually win32.svchst but has been several others as well
Will the same fix be appropriate for me?
Thanks!!

you need to start your own topic. Helping multiple users in same topic will be chaos
Fix is based on the frst logs comming from your computer
