possible malware? svchost.exe


Recommended Posts

I am trying to follow directions from a previous assist on the same topic.  I apologize in advance if I am doing this wrong.

I have run the scan FRST and attached here.   

I am unsure if this is a problem because I have always been careful and have Malwarebytes premium products always installed and running, but I have had the message pop up:

Detection, 11/11/2015 3:17 AM, SYSTEM, KRISTEN-PC, Protection, Malicious Website Protection, IP, 89.248.172.154, 2160, Inbound, C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe, with various IP addresses.

I have been having this issue since yesterday, and I installed a new router yesterday, so it may be related to that, but I don't know for sure.

I have codetwo installed on this computer that is supposed to sync my Outlook 2013 across all of my devices, but I never did learn to use it.  I could take it off if I need to.  Really it is on here because I haven't gotten around to removing it.  I only have firefox on computer because Microsoft Silverlight doesn't work on Chrome, and I have my IE settings set just to the standards to use for my job.  (So if it is Firefox causing problems I can remove that right away.)

I don't think I have anything that I shouldn't, but if something should not be on here I can remove it.  I use this computer to work from home, but I am not employed by any of the companies whose software I have.  (I am a contract employee, so I own all of the equipment and rights as assigned to perform my job.)  You can probably tell that I am very careful because I do work from home, so security and function have to be perfect.  I guess I am just trying to address all of the caveats I have read for previous issues of the same general description, and I don't want to be confused with a repair that should be paid by a business.

Obviously I am not savvy enough to determine if I have a real problem, or maybe the issue is not malware but something I did incorrectly when I installed the new router.

Anyway, please help, or point me in the direction I need to meet your requirements to receive help.

Sincerely,

kristen

Hello,

    

 

They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll try to help your with your issue.

 

     

    

Before we start please read and note the following:

  • We're primarily oriented on malware removal here, so you must know that some issues just cannot be solved and you must be prepared for this. Some tools we use here will remove your browser search history, so backup your important links and all the files whose loss is unacceptable.
  • Note that we may live in totally different time zones, what may cause some delays between answers.
  • Don't run any scripts or tools on your own, unsupervised usage may cause more harm than good.
  • Do not paste the logs in your posts, attachments make my work easier. There is a More reply options button, that gives you Upload Files option below which you can use to attach your reports. Always attach reports from all tools.
  • Always execute my instructions in given order. If for some reason you cannot completely follow one instruction, inform me about that.
  • If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.
:excl: I can't foresee everything, so if anything not covered in my instructions happens, please stop and inform me!

:excl: There are no silly questions. Never be afraid to ask if in doubt!
