 :o  I got the same with my Battlefield 3 and it happen at the same time like to You - when i updated my virus list from auto update . Avast! detects malware generic in Punkbuster service thats why we can't play. I tried to add it to trusted it didn't work, tried to reset settings and reinstall Avast! it didn't work either . I hope someone will fix it...
