What os/sp?
What ie version?
What exact version of avast?
Any other security software installed?
How does the icon look? (attach a screenshot)

Quite probably, the AOS "Avast Online Security" plug-in/add-on. You can disable it in IE Tools/Manage Addons.
OR you can also uninstall the "Browser Protection"(AOS)  module by going to Control Panel/ Programs / Avast and choose "CHANGE" then Uncheck Browser Protection under TOOLS. :)
