win32 adware/trojan problems

Avast alerts me twice a day to an attempt to infect with the win32 adware/trojan collection. I always click to delete them but there must be something on my computer causing them as it happens at the same time each day
My HJT log is below

Hi MargoJH
Welcome to Windowsbbs.

I don't see any malware showing in your log.

You do have two anti-virus programs running. avast, AVG7.

This is not a good Idea. There can be conficts with two AV's.

You need to delete one of them. Both are good so it's your choice on which one. But one needs to be deleted.

After that, then go here and get a on-line scan and post the results.

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky WebScanner

Click on Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be promted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.

• The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
• Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
  
• Now click on Scan Settings
• In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
  • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
  • Extended (if available otherwise Standard)
  • Scan Options:
  • Scan Archives
    Scan Mail Bases
• Click OK
• Now under select a target to scan:
  • Select My Computer
• This will program will start and scan your system.
• The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
• Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
  • Now click on the Save as Text button:
• Save the file to your desktop.
• Copy and paste that information in your next post.

Thanks
Geri

 

MargoJH,

I Googled {A364AF35-0CDF-41E8-8F3B-E0E55E15EBA1}. I don't know if this may be related to your issue or if you're aware of the vulnerability described at US-CERT. Just a heads-up.
