Sorry I looked through tech support and didn't find anything. Obviously I didn't look hard enough so I apologize for making this thread.
I have avast anti virus and sometime when I'm doing nothing ( I only use my pc for steam and ffxiv) And recently Avast will randomly say its blocked malware and trojans. (like 8-10 all at once)... I ran a malware killer and got 2 files that were infected but now I dont know what to do.
Any help is appreciated and sorry for being such a pc noob.

Malware/Trojan help
do what I do every 6months reset your pc back to factory settings, only sure fire way to get rid of everything!

a little bit more info would be helpfull
try to download malwarebytes tdskiller (download link in the middle of the page, not in the sides) dr web cure it and scan with those they don't have any backgrounds scanner its jsut plain on command scanner so they are nice to have around Spybot will scan your PC and plug-up some back doors in your browsers and computer to strengthen your resistance to future attacks. No-Script is a nice add-on for Mozilla that way nothing loads automatically on a webpage unless you tell it to.
Your issue sounds pretty standard though, and using some of the above scanners should do the trick. Can also use AVG Free and Ad-Aware Free for scans and removal should they not work. If it starts affecting system processes, let us know. Also, don't do this: daddyrabbit4444 said: » do what I do every 6months reset your pc back to factory settings, only sure fire way to get rid of everything! That's a last resort if you've got a major *** virus/worm. Otherwise, you can pretty much get rid of most everything that's out there one way or another.

spybots seach and destroy, ad-aware as well as super antispyware installs a service or other background programs.
which is why i dont recommend mass install these (unnende ressource usage) they are however good but i will strongly recommand to uninstall them completly after using them to avoid service/backgounds scanner conflicts and/or slowdowns but then again most ppl dont really care for their pc's peak performance and have all sort of crap running anyway i already used malwarebytes. ill re-scan. downloading the dr web now. and do you have to buy tdskiller? anyways I was also curious about java updates. I get asked to update it a lot and feel like thats the reason i'm getting these trojan/malware attempts on my pc. not sure though.
Edit: Ty for the help btw. I really appreciate it. tdskill is a free rootkitt scanner from kaspersky
if your java update leads you to any other site than the official then you sohuld not do it if you get the message to update on a website ignore it Didn't ignore it >.> hopefully can get rid of all the crap it put on my pc

You should be running all of the programs we tell you in safe mode with networking. Well thats good to know >.> because I haven't/wouldn't of.
Also just to be clear. after I run Full scans with superantispyware and malwarebytes. I will run spybot search and destroy (post log in paste bin) then run hijackthis and post that log in pastebin as well? And do all of these in safe mode with networking?

After uninstalling Java of course I used to run spybot all the time, it's added features would probably be worth it for the resources as long as you don't have an older machine.
I use M$ Security Essentials as my A/V and don't have any problems, but I also removed java as I don't need it for ***, and disabled all unused plugins, killed extra services I don't need at startup, use adblock/noscript. oh and before you run your mouth about M$ Security Essentials Kawar, *** off; I don't give a ***. You can remove like 99% of the malware out there with combination of TDSSKiller and Combofix. Combofix is the best. Can get them both free from bleepingcomputer.
combofix can also destroy your computer.
Ok, thank you all for the help and advice. Ill try tdsskiller and combofix first. and delete Java. If i still see avast warning me of blocked attacks I will do what kawar told me. And I will probably run superantispyware as well. and delete some tools that I downloaded and dont use.

can you screenshot one of the "blocked" attacks?
is it blocking something via a firewall or a program running? if it's the former, that's a good thing, you can change it to not notify you though. (well it's a good thing if it's blocking an incoming attack, if it's blocking an attack trying to go out, then you have a problem).

Cerberus.Eugene said: » while were at it, so can hijack this. Not to mention overkill, and a waste of time in most cases, I'd only go through that much trouble if for some reason I couldn't just reinstall, otherwise a reinstall is typically faster than going through a hijack this list. I can reinstall/drivers/update/software in 3 hours tops, most of which is automated.

Best thing short of a sandbox imo is noscript. Running it alongside abp and ghostery and I haven't had more than a tracking cookie in 2 years.
TBH though I'm not sure default ghostery protects you against malware. It's better to not get infected than to get infected and catch it later. Also, uninstalling java will only prevent future problems, not fix your current one. I have it installed but mostly because I have proper noscript settings.
I can post a pic of the avast warning in an hour or so. Also should I hit the show details tab?
