Sudden popups from security center and malware defense .. HELP!

My computer has been running really funky lately, I've had Avast antivirus on my computer for sometime but it seems like it just disappeared and now I'm getting all these popups from my security center saying there's suspicious software and harmful programs on my computer. Also I've been getting these alerts saying my computer is being attacked from remote host.

PLEASE HELP!!

Download avz4.zip from HERE

1. Unzip it to your desktop to a folder named avz4
   
2. Double click on AVZ.exe to run it.
   
3. Run an update by clicking the Auto Update button on the Right of the Log window:
   
4. Click Start to begin the update
   

Note: If you recieve an error message, chose a different source, then click Start again

1. Start AVZ.
   
2. 
   Choose from the menu "File" => "Standard scripts " and mark the
   "Advanced System Analysis with malware removal mode enabled" check box.
   
   
3. Click on the Execute selected scripts.
   
4. Automatic scanning, healing and system check will be executed.
   
5. A logfile (avz_sysinfo.htm) will be created and saved in the LOG folder in the AVZ directory as virusinfo_syscure.zip.
   
6. 
   It is necessary to reboot your machine, because AVZ might disturb some
   program operations (like antiviruses and firewall) during the system
   scan.
   
7. All applications will work properly after the system restart.
   

When restarted

1. Start AVZ.
   
2. Choose from the menu "File" => "Standard scripts " and mark the Advanced System Analysis" check box.
   
   
3. Click on the "Execute selected scripts".
   
4. 
   A system check will be automatically performed, and the created logfile
   (avz_sysinfo.htm) will be saved in the LOG folder in the AVZ directory
   as virusinfo_syscheck.zip.
   

Attach both virusinfo_syscure.zip and virusinfo_syscheck.zip to your next post

To attach a file, do the following:
Go to MediaFire.com and upload them, then post the links here to the downloads.

I'm also getting Security Center Alerts now about many Trojans .. and I also got an Email saying I joined some "AmateurMatch" website, so I'm worried there's some type of keylogger infecting my computer. Please help.

Please visit this webpage for instructions for downloading and running ComboFix:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

Post the log from ComboFix when you've accomplished that.

The post was too big for me to send so I just uploaded the file to mediafire again. I hope that's okay.

ComboFix.txt

Wow.

Please use Internet Explorer and run a BitDefender Online scan

• Please check I agree with the Terms and Conditions and click Start Here
  
• You will need to allow an Active X install for the scan to run.
  
• Leave the scanning options at default and click Start Scan
  

Please post the results in your next reply.

I'm sorry! I got this computer FREE from a friend! I don't know what kind of problems were on here before it was given to me, but I'm SO grateful for the help you're giving!

Please download the newest version of Java from Java.com.

Before installing: it is important to remove older versions of Java since it does not do so automatically and old versions still leave you vulnerable.
Go to the Control Panel and enter Add or Remove Programs.
Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Java. (J2SE Runtime Environment). Please uninstall/remove each of them.

Once old versions are gone, please install the newest version.

==

Please read the following information that I have provided, which will help you prevent malicious software in the future. Please keep in mind, malware is a continuous danger on the Internet. It is highly important to stay safe while browsing, to prevent re-infection.

Software recommendations

Firewall

• Tallemu Online Armor: the free version is just as good as the premium. I have linked you to the free version.
  
• Comodo Firewall: the free version is just as good as the premium. I have linked you to the free version. The optional security suite enhances the firewall by 40% increase. If you would like to install the suite that includes antivirus, then remove your old antivirus first.
  
• PC Tools Firewall Plus: free and excellent firewall.

AntiSpyware

• SpywareBlaster
  SpywareBlaster is a program that prevents spyware from installing on your computer. A tutorial on using SpywareBlaster may be found here.
  
• Spybot - Search & Destroy.
  Spybot - Search & Destroy is a spyware and adware removal program. It also has realtime protection, TeaTimer to help safeguard your computer against spyware. (The link for Spybot - Search & Destroy contains a tutorial that will help you download, install, and begin using Spybot).
  

NOTE: Please keep ALL of these programs up-to-date and run them whenever you suspect a problem to prevent malware problems.

Resident Protection help
A number of programs have resident protection and it is a good idea to run the resident protection of one of each type of program to maintain protection. However, it is important to run only one resident program of each type since they can conflict and become less effective. That means only one antivirus, firewall, and scanning anti-spyware program at a time. Passive protectors such as SpywareBlaster can be run with any of them.

Rogue programs help
There are a lot of rogue programs out there that want to scare you into giving them your money and some malware actually claims to be security programs. If you get a popup for a security program that you did not install yourself, do NOT click on it and ask for help immediately. It is very important to run an antivirus and firewall, but you can't always rely on reviews and ads for information. Ask in a security forum that you trust if you are not sure. If you are unsure and looking for anti-spyware programs, you can find out if it is a rogue here:
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

Securing your computer

• Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
  
• hpHosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. This prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1, which is your local computer's loopback address, meaning it will be difficult to infect your computer in the future.
  

Please consider using an alternate browser
Mozilla's Firefox browser is a very good alternative. In addition to being generally more secure than Internet Explorer, it has a very good built-in popup blocker and add-ons, like NoScript, can make it even more secure. Opera is another good option.

If you are interested:

• Firefox may be downloaded from here: http://www.getfirefox.com
  
• Opera is available here: http://www.opera.com/download/
