Hi, I keep getting notifications of blocked websites:

I've run full scans with malwarebytes and it can't find anything. It's been ongoing for a little while with the Compromised ones, but the Event Details seem to have got a bit more serious so I'm a bit more concerned now. Please can someone help?

I've attached the log from the support tool, please let me know what else you need.

Thanks

  • Download the enclosed file  Fixlist.txt
  • Save it in the same location FRST64.exe is saved.
  • Start FRST (FRST64) with Administrator privileges
  • This time around Press the Fix button and wait
  • When finished, a log file (Fixlog.txt) will pop up and saved in the same location the tool was ran from.
  • You can rename FRST64.exe to its original name

Please attach this file in your next reply.

Download AdwCleaner and save it to your desktop.

  • Double click AdwCleaner.exe to run it.

When AdwCleaner starts, on the left side of the window, click on “Settings” and then enable these repair actions on that tab-window
by clicking their button to the far-right for ON status

  • Delete IFEO keys
  • Delete tracing keys
  • Delete Prefetch files
  • Reset Proxy
  • Reset IE Policies
  • Reset Chrome policies
  • Reset Winsock
  • Reset HOSTS file
  • Click Scan Now ...
  • When the scan has finished a Scan Results window will open.
  • Click Cancel (at this point do not attempt to Quarantine anything that is found)
  • Now click the Log Files tab ...
  • Double click on the latest scan log (Scan logs have a [S0*] suffix, where * is replaced by a number, the latest scan will have the largest number)
  • A Notepad file will open containing the results of the scan.

Please attach the file in your next reply.

The notifications only seem to happen every few hours so it's difficult to say at this point really.

Previously the compromised outgoing connections were while browsing the web so I assumed ad related as I'd not found anything by scanning the system, but then I've had three new ones today at 15:44, 16:23, and 19:37 that show Riskware/Malware so thought I'd better not ignore them!

I've had nothing since running the scripts, but it's possibly too early to tell. Is that all the action that I should hopefully need to take and it's a case of now monitoring over the next few days to see how I get on?

If so then thank you very much for your help, I appreciate the assistance.
