Pop-up Spam of "Avast File System has blocked a threat"
« on: July 24, 2016, 09:03:51 AM »
 I have a problem with my PC and it is very similar to this one: https://forum.avast.com/?topic=152496.0
I was hoping you could help me again. Thanks. :)

EDIT: My previous MBAM SCAN LOG here in this message is NOT COMPLETE. I removed it already. Please refer to the attachment below named MBAM1.txt. Thank you so much. :)

Worm:VBS/Cantix.A is a worm written in VB Script that spreads via removable drives.

Also known as :
Smalltroj.YHFI (Norman), VBS/Worm.BA (AVG), VBS/Yuyun.A (Avira), Trojan.Script.257191 (BitDefender), Win32.HLLW.Cantix (Dr.Web), VBS/AutoRun.EY (ESET), VBS.Yuyun (Ikarus), VBS.Runauto (Symantec), VBS_AGENT.AVKG (Trend Micro)

Real easy to prevent a infection with things like this.
Disable auto-run on drives.

It may, but will not clean the infected drive, MCShield will do both

Here it is. But by the time I scanned, I already had my flash drive formatted. So it says clean. How do I stop this Pop up spam? :(

It is not spam and the pop-up will not show if the system and drive is clean.

Are you referring to the FRST scan log attached above? Or those additional instructions below "Logs to assist in cleaning malware"?
