Malicious URL Blocked

[castel]

Hello,

  I recently got a virus and it's been giving me a ton of trouble.  When looking for help I stumbled upon http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=77336.0  - where someone appeared to have my exact problem.  I have followed the directions in reply #4 of the post, and attached my aswMBR.txt and the OTS.txt that I got from running that step.  However, when I go to run aswMBR.exe again afterwards, and I scan, the "fix" button is faded out, and will not let me press it.  Should I skip this step and continue with the second OTS step?  Or is this something that is different for each user?

Thanks for your time.

.....and attached my aswMBR.txt and the OTS.txt......

where....no attachment here ?

[castel]

sorry, they're attached now.

the aswMBR log looks clean

you have to wait until tomorrow for Essexboys advice, when he have seen the OTS log


have you run Malwarebytes ?

The reason there is no Fix, is that the aswMBR.txt file isn't showing an MBR rootkit, it is very clear in the report if you have a rootkit. Whilst this is only reporting an unknown MBR. This can happen if you have a manufacturers PC, like Dell or perhaps HP, which may have a unique MBR to cater for their recovery partition.

So do you have a Dell, HP system, etc. ?

I can't help with the OTS log it isn't something that I'm familiar with.

My brother built this PC.  It was not bought from Dell or HP or anything like that.  What would I do to go about finding my MBR?  Sorry, I don't know anything about MBRs so you may have to walk me through this a bit =/.

Also I have run MBAM twice, the first time it caught things and deleted something in the config\system folder so I couldn't start the HD.  After I recovered that I was able to run it a second time with no luck.  I have also run avast and avg, both multiple times.

Thanks again

Then the MBR (Master Boot Record) appears to be clean.

You can't really go looking for it as it is meant to be hidden as altering it could turn your computer into an expensive paper weight.

get more general info by googling MBR, which turns up this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record.

[castel]

So, just as a clarification, is there anything else to do for this problem or is there no fix?

[DavidR]

Someone with the knowledge of OTS needs to analyse your OTS log.

But the major thing is are you still experiencing the URL malware popups and if so how frequently.

I have also run avast and avg, both multiple times.

does it mean you have both installed ?

[castel]

Yes I have both installed, and as long as I'm on the internet, around once every 5-15 minutes.  Sometimes more.

Never install two antivirus (see reply from quietman7)
