SysWOW64 and repeated "Malicious Website Blocked" warning

[Pratski6872]

Hi all,

I'm working on a new computer for my stepson and in very short time he's got it all locked up.  I've run the MBAB(current as of 10/18) and continue to get the constant Malicious Website blocked warning.  Both are outbound types, and reference the Windows\SysWOW64\dllhost.exe processes.  Both IP addresses return to Russia.  Not all that computer literate but hopefully I can get some much-needed help.

 

My anti-virus software is McAfee LiveSafe(updated 10/18) and MBAM.  I've downloaded and run FRST.  The two logs are attached.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Unfortunately, your computer is infected with a rootkit. As such, I must issue the following warning. Please let me know how you wish to proceed. 
 

BACKDOOR WARNING

------------------------------

One or more of the identified infections is known to use a backdoor, that allows attackers to remotely control your computer, download/execute files and steal critical system, financial and personal information.

Please disconnect your computer from the internet immediately. If your computer was used for online banking, has credit card information or other sensitive data,using a non-infected computer/device you should immediately change all account information (including those used for banking, email, eBay, paypal, online forums, etc). Consider these accounts already compromised.

If you have used a router, you will need to reset it with a strong logon/password to ensure the malware cannot gain control before connecting again. Banking and credit card institutions should be notified of the possible security breach immediately. Please read the following for more information: How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?

Whilst the identified infection(s) can be removed, there is no way to guarantee that your computer will be trustworthy again. This is due to the nature of the infection, which allows the attacker complete control over the computer. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of malware, the best course of action is to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the Operating System. Please read the following articles for more information.

• When should I re-format? How should I reinstall?
• Help: I Got Hacked. Now What Do I Do?
• Where to draw the line? When to recommend a format and reinstall?

Please let me know how you wish to proceed, and if you have any questions.
