Hello

 

For a few weeks now I have encountered at least 10 pop-ups consecutive from the Avast Web-shield saying that is has blocked websites hosted by svchost.exe (URL:Mal)

 

I initially thought nothing of it seeing as avast is doing its job and stopping  potential threats to my pc however as I turn on my pc accessing the internet I encounter several pop-ups 

 

I think this started by attempting to download something for a project for uni 

 

 

so far:

 

- I use Avast Free

 

- Downloaded 'Malwarebytes Anti-Malware' which did remove over 1000 threats (assumed this was the end of it but still encounter the pop-ups)

 

- Downloaded 'tdsskiller' and 'RogueKiller' to further scan my pc a few things popped up but I don't think those are the problem 

 

- Deleted all cracked or pirated programs assuming it was a crack that caused this (Pop-ups still show up)

 

- Finally have run the recovery tool 'FRST64.exe'  and have attached the logs

 

I hope you guys can help me because I am getting so many pop-ups and starting to notice it affecting my pc 

 

 

Thanks

Subject to no further problems

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:
