guys, i know that's a quite annoying trouble (when avast executables are infected), essexboy reported it to me already... i'm collecting the samples and inspecting the relations between infected ashdisp and the infection dropper (that's the most important part, ashdisp can be repaired from setup, but we must stop the reinfecting)..

Hi Maxx

Depending on how comfortable this user is with the process, I will try to retreive a copy of the ashdisp file.

Everything looks great, even ran the Ashdisp.exe in Virus Total, came up clean. computers running great thank you for your help. Can these tools I have now (ComboFix/HJT) be used for other viruses or adware problems, if another infection happens in the future?

Most probably. Anyway, you can stay tunned to download new versions of them in the future (although they're not as frequently updated as an antivirus, of course).
The best things in life are free.

 If you are up to it, I'd like you sumbit a sample from the combofix quarantine.

Right click the "a" icon, click start avast ant virus. Once the interface comes up, click on the chest, then the user section button.

Right click anywhere in the window and select add

Use the browse to navigate to the following folder

C:\QOOBOX\QUARANTINE\c\program flies

in the right hand panel a list of files should appear with the added .vir extention.

single click on each instance os ashdisp, click add each time

Back in the chest right click on the file and select "email to alwill software"

In the box that appears paste this line in

infected sample of ashdisp


Make sure the box beside MAPI is checked. click send. You can send only one sample per mail.

To remove the file from the chest, right click on it and select delete.

You will have to do this before we remove combofix.


Hijack this is ok to keep around, but combofix should be removed. It won't work after, I think it's 10 days. Tech wasn't quiet right, combofix is updated constantly, sometimes daily, so the freshest version is best. And yes it can be used for other things, but is usually used in conjunction with other tools.




So we'll leave HJT and remove combofix. This will take the nasties with it.

Click start button, click run, copy and paste this line into the box

combofix /u


It looks like you are using windows firewall. It doesn't provide outbound protection. A third party firewall will.

A discussion on free firewalls can be found here.

I don't know if I did it right. Found one aishDisp.exe.vir file that was in the ALWILS~1\avast4 folder, sent that file, was I suppose to send all the other .vir files from the other folders in the ...\program files folder? But I already uninstalled ComboFix so I guess thats it.

Thanks again for your help oldman and tech, and thanks for the firewall info.

No, I think just the ashdisp file will be good enough, Alwil may not be able to do much with some else product. So go ahead and remove them from the chest. And Thank You for taking the time to submit the file, it may save our butts down the road.

You're welcome and stay safe.  ;)


You should also do this

Create a new restore point

You must be logged on to an administrator account
Go to Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore.
Click Create a restore point, and then click Next.
In the text box labeled Restore Point Description, type a name for this restore point , click create

Remove old restore points

Disk Cleanup
- Go to Start - All Programs - Accessories - system tools. Launch the Disk Cleanup tool and let it run. When it finishes a box with tabs will appear, select the more options tab. On this tab you will find a section for System Restore. If you press the Clean Up button for that section, Windows will delete all restore points except for the most recent one
