Malicious Website Continously Tried

[Sandpaper600]

I came home today to find that my computer was popping up a box from Malwarebytes that a malicious website was being blocked...and it popped up over and over.

The website trying to be accessed is allonsy.hopto.org, with the IP of 41.66.28.72. Everytime the box pops up I see it is trying to access a different outbound port. The other kinda odd thing about it is the process says C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegSvcs.exe.

I ran malwarebytes on my computer but it didn't find anything. If I disconnect from the internet, the popups stop.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for taking the time to wade into this problem for me.

Malwarebytes didn't find anything. Log:

Odd that it says the scan was only one object and took :28 seconds. That was the last scan I did and it took about 90 minutes. Should I delete my old scan files and scan again?

The 2 logs from Farbar are also attached.

FRST.txt

Addition.txt

[kevinf80]

The settings for Malwarebytes have not been set as I asked, please read the instructions again and re-run Malwarebytes, post that log. Run FRST again as follows...

Run FRST one more time, ensure all boxes are checkmarked under "Whitelist" but only Addition.txt under "Optional scan" Select scan, when done post the new logs. "FRST.txt" and "Addition.txt"

Thank you,

Kevin...

Hi Kevin,

I want you to know that I'm not trying to be argumentative in the least and I do respect your skills in helping me with this problem.

That being said, I did have the Malwarebytes configured as you said. I normally have it configured in that way, except I usually have PUP & PUM set to "Warn user..." just because I want to see what was found.

I took screen shots of the setup and of the result screens this time.

I did not get a result log output from MBAM this time. It only shows the Protection Log. I even went to the file where MBAM saves the logs to check. It's not there.

I'm attaching all screen shots as well as the 2nd logs from FRST.

This may also be info of some help, or it may be nothing, but I had trouble running MBAM the first time today. It wouldn't start even the console. I restarted the computer and then I got the scan going. After 21 minutes the application locked up. I restarted the computer again and started the scan over and it went to completion, but as I said, did not post a log.

Here are your settings from the log you posted supposedly from my instructions...

Scan Type: Threat Scan
Result: Completed
Objects Scanned: 1
Time Elapsed: 0 min, 21 sec

Memory: Disabled
Startup: Disabled
Filesystem: Enabled
Archives: Enabled
Rootkits: Disabled
Heuristics: Enabled
PUP: Warn
PUM: Warn

To me that showed as one object being scanned, not a full scan. Also some of the settings are disabled..... I can only read the logs that you post....

 

[Sandpaper600]

Yeah, I get that. I know that the log didn't reflect the scan. That log WAS for one item scan, but it was the newest one in the history cue. I think we can see that by the PUP/PUM setting. I suggest to you that a log wasn't generated from the first scan I did either. I don't think ANY scan logs have been saved since I've began having this trouble, other than that single item scan.

It's obviously saving the protection logs, but nothing else.

[kevinf80]

If scans I request are not successful just tell me, I`m here to help, nothing more than that...

Download attached fixlist.txt file (end of reply) and save it to the Desktop, or the folder you saved FRST into.
NOTE. It's important that both FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Open FRST and press the Fix button just once and wait.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt) or the folder it was ran from. Please post it to your reply

Next,

Please download MBAM-clean and save it to your desktop.   Right-click on mbam-clean.exe icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool. It will ask you to reboot the machine - please do so. Run the cleaner tool again, re-boot when complete. <<<---do not miss this step Download & install the newset MBAM version. Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware   Install the progam and select update. Once updated, click the Settings tab, in the left panel choose Detctions & protection and tick Scan for rootkits. In the same tab, under PUP and PUM detections make sure it is set to Treat detections as malware. Click the Scan tab, choose Threat Scan is checked and click Scan Now. If threats are detected, click the Apply Actions button. You will now be prompted to reboot. Click Yes. Upon completion of the scan (or after the reboot), click the History tab. Click Application Logs and double-click the Scan Log. At the bottom click Export and choose Text file. Save the file to your desktop and include its content in your next reply. If you have lost the activation licence key information it can be located here: http://www.cleverbridge.com/342/?scope=cusecolp Next, Select the Windows key and X key together, from the menu select "Command prompt (Admin)" Copy the following command at the prompt: Licensingdiag.exe -report %userprofile%\desktop\report.txt -log %userprofile%\desktop\repfiles.cab put cursor at the command prompt then Right click and select paste, hit enter. Two files will be saved to your Desktop. Attach the "report.txt" file to your reply. - you can ignore the repfiles.cab file, it's only backup data   Let me see those logs in your reply..   Thank you,   Kevin

 

 

 

 

Fixlist.txt

[Sandpaper600]

OK, here are the logs...

MBAM Scan.txt

report.txt

[kevinf80]

Your version of Windows does not show as Genuine, Activation entries have been modified and the licence is VLK.... I cannot offer any further help as you`ve breached Forum protocol...

Please read the stance on  Piracy

 

 

[Sandpaper600]

Yeah, I kinda figured that's where you were going when you asked for the report. Actually the copy of Windows IS genuine, it's just that they couldn't supply me with the key, so I had to get my own.

I had legit copies of 98 & XP, but when I became disabled, I couldn't afford to do it legit.

Thanks for the help you DID give.

Take care...

Mark
