Ransomeware from buy.androidcityshop.top

[wmatt001]

Hi,

Thank you in advance for any assitance you can provide.  Whenever I start my computer my Malwarebytes Premium lets me know there is an outbound connection to buy.androidcityshop.top trying to take place.  IP Address 195.22.26.248.  Looks like a ransomeware or malware site from my google searches.  Looks like the file that is trying to do it is C:\Program Files(x86)...ited/vpn-unlimited.exe

I'm assuming my VPN service is affected.  I have included the log, Malwarebytes scan, FRST and Addition txt files.

scan report.txt

website blocked.txt

Addition.txt

FRST.txt

When reading over the Addition.txt I came across the information that Windows Defender had been disabled.  I don't remember doing this.  I enabled it and ran a full scan.  Took over an hour.  I went and took a nap while it did its thing.

It found two things: a 32-bit key generator and a Trojan Clicker. Both seemed to have created a bunch of randomly named executable files in sub-directories of programs that routinely check the internet for updates.  They have been removed and we shall see if that fixes the problem.  I am changing all my passwords as we speak.

If you are not using one of the browsers but it is installed then you may want to consider uninstalling it as older versions of some software can pose an increase in the potential for an infection to get in.
