Sure, you have malware and need to look at the malware forum. I've had the same thing and cleaned it up using the guide.

Anti-virus is not the same as anti-malware. You did good with having Avast but it's not enough.

yea, you have some infection/corruption. turn off your computer, and then turn it back on and immediately starp tapping the F8 key. After awhile, you will be at the "Advance Boot Options" screen. Use your arrow keys and select "safemode with networking" then press <enter>. once you get to your desktop, the background will be black and your icons might appear to be a little larger than normal. Open up Internet and go to this site:http://www.superantispyware.com/
download the free version, don't select save, select <Run> that way you can stay in safemode and scan when it's finished installing.

Once the program is installed, check for updates. After updates have been applied, perform a full scan on C: drive.
After the scan is complete, click <next> and the program will remove any threats detected......HOPE THIS HELPS
