That URL is blocked because it automatically redirects to sites that download malware - such as the Fastsearch addon - not because it necessarily contains malware itself. Given that you have unusual tabs in Chrome, I'd suggest that you run scans with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware free edition, and AdwCleaner. Also look in Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs to see if there are any entries you don't recognise, are recently installed, or have names that would indicate malware. If so, remove them. -

Those entries are the preferred DNS adresses for Vodafone Ireland - if that's the customer's ISP and/or equipment, it shouldn't be a problem. Which operating system is being used ? Windows 10 defaults to uploading Windows Updates via P2P to other users, and if that's the case, it will chew up bandwidth and CPU and should be disabled. Try a scan with Malwarebytes anti-malware free edition just to be sure.

Photo.SCR infection not successfully removed?
Dangermouse replied to Luv2Lafmcc's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
As a preventative measure, you should stop downloading torrents with unauthorised versions of copyrighted content - this is a well-known way to get your computer infected. It's also important to realise that the NAS isn't just another network drive, it's a computer in its own right, albeit with an OS that is probably a variant of linux. Although you are seeing the Photo.scr infection on the NAS folders, if you refer to the information for the infection, hxxp://www.virusradar.com/en/Win32_Crytes.AA/description you will see that the infection also includes infecting the registry of your -
Thanks for the wall of text. Do I infer from it that the descriptions in the signature files don't necessarily detail all of the variants, even though the example I gave is listed as a specific variant ? i.e., some of the 'variants' listed in the signature file descriptions are generic umbrella terms for minor variations ?

OK, here is an example hxxp://www.virusradar.com/en/update/info/14565 contains a signature for Win32/Autoit.IV but clicking on the link from the list of update 14565 shows Category worm Detection created May 16, 2013 Signature database version 9534 Win32/Autoit.IV [Threat Name] Detection created 2013-05-16 World activity peak 2016-03-05 (0.07 %) Clicking on the link for update 9534 shows the same threat, and the same variant In fact, this threat is also listed in another recent signature file hxxp://www.virusradar.com/en/update/info/14559

I've just noticed this in my firewall log 3/12/2016 9:36:38 PM; An attempt to connect to the Server Service was detected; Source 192.168.1.6:11909; Destination 192.168.1.6:445;TCP; ;System; Obviously this is something internal to my network rather than an external attack, but what is it trying to tell me ?

You're not the only one who takes issue with the design 'feature' of windows that cannot be resized to a useful, practical size. However, that kind of nonsense was introduced in ESS9 and ESET took no notice of objections to it then, so there's no reason to assume that they'll value the same kind of feedback for the current software.
