Virus Attack or????
« on: March 09, 2011, 11:35:59 PM »
Whatever happened here...did I have a virus attack or what??   Scary stuff!!
The other day I was viewing a video tutorial on Spybot on site (howcast.com).   A minute or so into it a  whole screen message appeared from the web page (5d7539.innersafe14.com) that AV has found suspect activity on your PC and will perform some actions on your PC with a list of 9 infections (hi-med- & critical).  A download box to save or open appeared & I became very suspicious!!  Tried to click out of it but it would not go so I used the back button and was back into the video.  A minute later Avast 6 alert came on and said it blocked infections.

That was such an unusual name for a website  -  was this Windows Firewall or Windows Defender or some sort of virus attack?

Avast File Shield logs  -  1 file deleted,successful  --   2 moved to chest, successful  
Avast Web Shield logs - 5 threats with option choices (repair,delete,send to chest, do nothing)
Both of the above log files were High risk.

I clicked on 'send to chest' from the drop down option list in Web Shield logs but nothing happens.   How can I move them there?

Are the threats in the Web Shield isolated so the computer is protected?  Would that be the sandbox?

Ran scans later:  Avast6, MBAM, SAS,Spybot and all OK.
Could someone please advise me on this?   Thanks in advance.

Hi Pondus, I've been searching high and low and can't find out how to post those logs.
Could you please tell me how?

Anyway, there seems to be something amiss here.  I updated the program to Avast 6 free about a week ago but when I check in C:\programs, there is ony Avast 5 there.

Thanks

When you Reply, e.g. make another post, there is an Additional Options link, which when clicked expands, see image (click to expand).

Thank you for your help DavidR, sure made it clearer.

But I really don't know where to find these shield log files and would greatly appreciate your help with this.

You're welcome.

Check the C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\report folder and open them using notepad. The information is in chronological order, latest entries at the bottom. If you can find the relevant entries, you could just as easily copy and paste the various detection entries into your post and not have to attach the actual files.
