How do I get rid of this? I get avast windows every minute about a malicious URL which was blocked. I ran a full scan but avast did not detect anything. I also ran a full Spybot scan but it is still happening.

Done. It seems to be running well. I have not had the pop-up warning in a few days but I have only been using the computer to go through this process with you.
What do i need to do to get my shield back up? Just reverse the changes you had me make to disable avast?
Thanks again!!

Yes. But first we need to remove some used tools. ;)
It is necessary to uninstall ComboFix :
- Click Start (or (http://amf.mycity.rs/pg/images/VistaStartButton.png)) then Run.
On Windows7 or Vista you may use Start Search field if Run is not available.
- In the line of text type in (Copy) the following:
ComboFix /Uninstall Note that there is a space between " ComboFix " and " /Uninstall " .
- then click OK (or press Enter ).
Wait for the uninstall process is complete.
--------------------------------
> Re-run OTL and click on CleanUp! button.
You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the cleanup process, choose Yes.
After the reboot all the tools we used should be gone.
Note: Some more recently created tools may not yet be removed by OTL. Feel free to manually delete any tools it leaves behind.
-
Done. Now enable avast?
