Clicked on a malicious (I think) link


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Yesterday, wanting to go to keepvid.com, I accidentally typed in keep-vid.com (POSSIBLE MALICIOUS LINK, DO NOT CLICK!).

 

As soon as I typed in the wrong website, there were a couple of redirects. Forgot the website that I was redirected to, but I Googled it later and all the results said it was a malware site. I have deleted the history so cannot recall the site name.

 

Running Farbar scan today and reading the log, I did not see anything for yesterday (admittedly I am without experience) but there are some SysWow64 and Sys32 lines on 15/10/2015 which I cannot explain.

Thanks,

Milk200

Thanks for the logs and the update, as we can not find any malware or infection on your system we can clean up....

 

Download "Delfix by Xplode" and save it to your desktop.

Or use the following if first link is down:

"Delfix link mirror"

Double Click to start the program. If you are using Vista or higher, please right-click and choose run as administrator

Make Sure the following items are checked:



  •    
  • Remove disinfection tools
       
  • Purge System Restore <--- this will remove all previous and possibly exploited restore points, a new point relative to system status at present will be created.
       
  • Reset system settings



Now click on "Run" and wait patiently until the tool has completed.

The tool will create a log when it has completed. We don't need you to post this.

Any remnant files/logs from tools we have used can be deleted…

 

Next,
