Hi,

So to put up the context, I have a machine that is likely infected. There are 2 reasons as why I think so:

  1. I had my email leaked in a pastebin and other leak from websites.
  2. I have been heavily spamed with malicious email (with js programs) that my anti-virus intercepted. (Like 50-60 email thrown in quarantine on the same leaked email)

I dealt with that using several cleanning tools and I thought it was ok.

But I continue to see my AV picking up threat from time to time, I checked the threat origine that mostly come from email but I saw, this time, a phishing threat from svhost.exe.

Meaning something probably got through...

I use thunderbird as mail client and it resulted on 2 of my machines geting infected...

I run avast! free and MBAM premium on both my machines. One is win 8.1 the other win 10.

I have used cyberghost (VPN) in premium version.

It's my first time going so please guide me through this.

thanks,

Vodsky

P.S.: As 2 machines are involved, should I create 2 separate topics or one is enough?

[Things that I've done on the win 8.1 machine]

  • Found a "new" thunderbird of a differente version that I don't remember installing, in a different location I usualy install things
    • I uninstalled it (erf read your forum too late...)
  • Ran Avast! (at startup too), MBAM and Eset online scanner
    • Nothing to be found (after avast already put into quarantine the spams)
  • Ran hitman pro
    • Some toolbars where found
  • Java update (8 up 65 -> 8 up 191)
  • Thunderbird update

FRST.txt

Addition.txt

MBAM last scan.txt

Hello @Vodsky and :welcome:

I don't see any obvious threat that is known for attacking via shares so we can just clean up the computer one at a time so as not to confuse clean up routines.

Let's start out with the following.

Please download the attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop.
NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST or FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on this particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system.

Run FRST or FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
If the tool needs a restart please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please attach or post it to your next reply.

Note: If the tool warned you about an outdated version please download and run the updated version.

fixlist.txt

Thanks, Ron

Where is the new Malwarebytes scan log, please?

 

Please download and run the following Kaspersky antivirus scanner to remove any found threats. Make sure you temporarily disable your Avast antivirus.
