Hello @Dillsion1 and

We'll take a look and see what we can find.

I do see you have an unbelievable amount of CustomCLSID: from Java

Example of hundreds

CustomCLSID: HKU\S-1-5-21-3388967864-4246774857-54345224-1001_Classes\CLSID\{CAFEEFAC-0018-0000-0370-ABCDEFFEDCBC}\InprocServer32 -> C:\Program Files\Java\jre-1.8\bin\jp2iexp.dll (Oracle America, Inc. -> )

I assume or hope you're doing some type of Java programming

Can we get the following report which will also give us the logs from Malwarebytes to see what it's finding.

Thank you

I appreciate the speedy replies on this because I booted up today and it happened again.

[Dillsion1]

And no, I haven't touched and Java programming in months but I used to mess around with it.

[AdvancedSetup]

So the block is an old block and the site is now down, so we'll remove the block. However, that does not answer why your computer is calling out to it in the first place.

Here it is in our log

            "websiteData": {
               "blockType": 15,
               "ip": "193.239.84.194",
               "isInbound": false,
               "port": 0,
               "processPath": "C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\PING.EXE",
               "url": ""
 

 

Please run the following

 

Create an Autoruns Log:

• Please download Sysinternals Autoruns from here:   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
• Save Autoruns.zip to your computer. Then locate it and extract it to a new folder where you can find and run it.
• Once it starts you may not be able to easily stop the scan but you can try to press the Escape key on your keyboard.
• Once scanning is stopped, click on the Options menu at the top of the program and select Scan Options... 
• Then place a check mark on the following items Verify Code Signatures, Check VirusTotal.com, and Submit Unknown Images
• Then click the Rescan button. Agree to the VirusTotal EULA
• Once the new scan has been completed, please click on the File button at the top of the program and select Save, or use the Save icon, and save the Autoruns.arn file to your desktop and close Autoruns.
• Right-click on the Autoruns.arn file (it will typically be the name of your computer) on your desktop or where you save it, and hover your mouse over Send To and select Compressed (zipped) Folder
• Attach the Autoruns.zip folder (your computer name.zip) you just created to your next reply.

 

 

 

Thank you

Just wanted to send so you don't wait around

[AdvancedSetup]

Please run the following fix @Dillsion1

 

 

 

NOTE: Please read all of the information below before running this fix.

• 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 that cannot be undone.

Once the fix has been completed, please attach the file FIXLOG.TXT to your next reply

Farbar program:   FRST64.exe

Save the attached file:  FIXLIST.TXT to this folder C:\Users\Dills\Downloads\

NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST64.exe, and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Please make sure you disable any real-time antivirus or security software before running this script. Once completed, make sure you re-enable it.

 

 

Run the Farbar program with Admin rights and press the Fix button just once and wait.

The fix may possibly take up to 60 minutes to complete

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 named Fixlog.txt in the same folder you ran the Farbar program from. Please attach that log on your next reply.

 

1. NOTE:  This fix will run a scan to check that all Microsoft operating system files are valid and not corrupt and attempt to correct any invalid files. It will also run a disk check on the restart to ensure disk integrity.
2. NOTE: As part of this fix all temporary files will be removed. If you have any open web pages that have not been bookmarked please make sure you bookmark them now as all open applications may be automatically closed. Also, make sure you know the passwords for all websites as cookies will also be removed in most, but not all cases.
3. NOTE: As part of this fix, it will also reset the network to default settings including the firewall. If you have custom firewall rules you need to save please export or save them first before running this fix.

The following directories are emptied:

• Windows Temp
• Users Temp folders
• Edge, IE, FF, Chrome, and Opera caches, HTML5 storages, Cookies and History
• Recently opened files cache
• Discord cache
• Java cache
• Steam HTML cache
• Explorer thumbnail and icon cache
• BITS transfer queue (qmgr*.dat files)
• Recycle Bin

Important: items are permanently deleted. They are not moved to quarantine. If you have any questions or concerns please ask before running this fix.

The system will be rebooted after the fix has run.

Thank you @Dillsion1 that log looks pretty good overall.

Are you still getting the PING alert?

 

[Dillsion1]

I am no longer getting the ping alert, everything seems to be working as it should now!

 

Thank you so much for your help, it was truly the most annoying thing as well as worrying.

 

Have a wonderful rest of your day!

[AdvancedSetup]

Great, glad to hear all is better. Please run the following @Dillsion1 We're not quite done yet.

 

SecurityCheck by glax24              

I would like you to run a tool named SecurityCheck to inquire about the current security update status of some applications.

• Download SecurityCheck by glax24: https://tools.safezone.cc/glax24/SecurityCheck/SecurityCheck.exe
• If Microsoft SmartScreen blocks the download, click through to save the file
• This tool is safe.   Smartscreen is overly sensitive.
• If SmartScreen blocks the file from running click on More info and Run anyway
• Right-click  with your mouse on the Securitycheck.exe  and select "Run as administrator"  and reply YES to allow to run & go forward
• Wait for the scan to finish. It will open a text file named SecurityCheck.txt Close the file.  Attach it with your next reply.
• You can find this file in a folder called SecurityCheck, C:\SecurityCheck\SecurityCheck.txt

 

 

Thank you
