 :)  Hi :

     This appears to be a "Hijacker" or a "Trojan" and NOT a "virus"; therefore you should use
     a product that more easily finds and quarantines "things" like this ; do you have either an
     antiSPYWARE or an antiTROJAN program on your computer ?  It would also be helpful
     IF you told us the NAME of your Operating System .

Active Virus Shield is not compatible with avast.
You must use just one at once. I mean, uninstall one to install the other.
It Active Virus Shield detects the virus, it can remove (quarentine) it.  ;)
