Solved c:\Windows\SysWOW64\svchost.exe Issue

[Adplusone]

My destop computer picked up a ScvHost.exe virus. First appeared as white screen and then police warning...restored to an earlier date to access computer. Runs fine...no white screen but have another issue.
Did some web research so downloaded and then ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware premium and it did not find anything in the scan...HOWEVER...I keep getting pop up message from Malwarebytes saying MALICIOUS WEBSITE BLOCKED....the Domain, IP and port will vary but it is always coming as OUTBOUND from file c:\Windows\SysWOW64\svchost.exe (see attached pic for sample). These warnings are popping up several times an hour.
Also ran HITMAN PRO, TDSKILLER and McAfee and none show anything.
So I assume (use computer everyday and know only enough that I am in over my head here) the Malwarebytes is keeping the virus from going out from computer.....but how do I find it and get rid of it?

Hello,



They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you.



Before we start please read and note the following:

• At the top of your post, please click on the "Watch thread" button and make sure to check Watch this thread...and receive email notifications. This will send an email to you as soon as I reply to your topic, allowing me to solve your problem faster.
• Please do not install any new software during the cleaning process other than the tools I provide for you. This can hinder the cleaning process. Please do not perform System Restore or any other restore.
• Instructions I give to you are very simple and made for complete beginner to follow. That's why you need to read through my instructions carefully and completely before executing them.
• Please do not run any tools other than the ones I ask you to, when I ask you to. Some of these tools can be very dangerous if used improperly. Also, if you use a tool that I have not requested you use, it can cause false positives, thereby delaying the complete cleaning of your machine.
  
• All tools we use here are completely clean and do not contain any malware. If your antivirus detects them as malicious, please disable your antivirus and then continue.
• If during the process you run across anything that is not in my instructions, please stop and ask. If any tool is running too much time (few hours), please stop and inform me.
• I visit forum several times at day, making sure to respond to everyone's topic as fast as possible. But bear in mind that I have private life like everyone and I cannot be here 24/7. So please be patient with me. Also, some infections require less, and some more time to be removed completely, so bear this in mind and be patient.
• Please stay with me until the end of all steps and procedures and I declare your system clean. Just because there is a lack of symptoms does not indicate a clean machine. If you solved your problem yourself, set aside two minutes to let me know.
  
• Please attach all report using
  
  button below. Doing this, you make it easier for me to analyze and fix your problem.
  
• If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.

You still need to attach Addition.txt report.

Sorry for late reply:

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.

• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.
