Rundll32.exe accessing malicious websites

[austin98]

Although my computer appears to be acting normally otherwise, Malwarebytes keeps informing me that C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe is accessing various malicious websites consistently. Malwarebytes, MSE, and the MRT.exe tool all turn up clean after deep scans. SFC /scannow also reports no corrupt files. I've run a Farbar scan and attached the logs. Hopefully someone can assist me here before things get worse. I'm out of ideas!

How is your PC behaving now?

[austin98]

Still no change. After I restarted to complete the ZOEK scan, the blocked connections continued the same as before. I've attached my Malwarebytes log for today, keeping in mind that the ZOEK tool finished around 11:35 this morning.

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
  

Please attach it to your reply.
