Hi sevienetito13,

Please block that live link like with -http  or hxtp:// etc.
The link probably is not "live" anymore, but we do not want the uninformed click such live links here.

Always keep at the back of your head, that when you see a link ending in dot su not to click,
su (soviet union) domains are known to be suspicious and therefore may come on a deny list by default.

The term bl*cklist should now preferably be written as deny list, wh*telist then becomes allow list.
Even unix kernel code terms no longer will have a term like bl*cklist.
They will adopt to using these new unbiased terminology.

Thanks for answering, I changed the live link as you said and will keep in mind the use of deny/allow list. I don't understand what the info of dnsspy means, Is Avast Denylisting the page for some reason? But do we know why my pc is trying to connect to that page from a svchost.exe ? Is there something else I should check?

Hi sevienetito13,

I do not know that, because malware or compromise is often rather short-lived.
Seems it has not survived up to now, and the main domain is not malicious.

For you is is important to know that by blocking it at the time avast has kept you out of harm's way,
and you haven't become infested at least not by this particular threat.
That is a reassuring thought, isn't it?

I wish you a pleasant day,
