virus in registry under "AVAST Software" title
«

When Internet Explorer 10 is the default browser, a rogue window popsup on
the screen and it has a message. The message can be "Your PC performance is Poor Click the
download button ..."
The url that it gives is: "
http://tv.channel.157news.com
..."
I looked this up in the registry using the registry editor. I found it under "AVAST Software".
The full tree is:
AVAST Software
AVAST
WRCv2
UrlInfo => ab(Default) REG_SZ
http://tv.channel157.news.com
...
Please tell me what to do in order to get rid of these random pages w/ nonsensical URL addresses.
Thank you.

While I was waiting for your response, I decided to do a System Restore.
The popups aren't happening anymore.

If this was a result of a infection......system restore does not remove infected file (s)
It may disable it but any infected files will stil be there

I meant to say, I did a registry restore to a previous time. Microsoft calls this a "System Restore."
However, I can see where the confusion comes from.
