Malicious URL Blocked explorer.exe
« on: March 05, 2011, 01:22:49 PM »
Hi, i am new the the forum and have a reoccurring url being blocked. (currently have 12 from the last hour-ish)


MALICIOUS URL BLOCKED
Avast! Network shield has blocked a harmful site.

Object: 213.155.31.56/_cp_gate.php?guid=6.0.6002!GAZ-PC!D4B9BCB2&ve
Infection: URL:Mal
Action: Blocked
Process: C:\Windows\explorer.exe

Any advice would be good. I am currently running a Full Scan with Avast! now.


Thank you
Dave

try clearing your browser cache/temp files

TFC - Temp File Cleaner by OldTimer
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/187-tfc-temp-file-cleaner-by-oldtimer/
TFC requires a reboot immediately after running. Be sure to save any unsaved work before running TFC.



If no success do this so Essexboy can have a look inside

I am experiencing the exact same issue from the same IP address again from explorer.exe
Avast Pops up approx every 5 mins to say Malicious URL Blocked. It come up under the network shield tab of the shields setting.

Any help would be appreciated!

Run the TFC then after re-boot you need to run a scheduled boot scan... worked for me :)

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

I'm having the exact same problem. I tried the TFC cleaner and after that a schedules boot scan.
Avast didn't find anything. And it Still pops up every 60 seconds :-(
Any other ideas?

Thanks,
