Returning Virus.

[Mokora]

Alright, I have avast!, I love it. But for the past few days, I've been getting a returning virus in my temp folder. It shows up, out of nowhere, at the same time each day. It's called something like 180spack.exe or something vaguely familiar. After this, it turns into something_bundle, with a red circular icon. This triggers adware, from shophomeselect.com, to pop up every 15 minutes or so, and then right afterwards, I'm hit with a trojan, coming from a location that I can't seem to find in my C drive.

Neither of these files could be deleted, and the first, even avast! couldn't do anything with. [ Meaning it couldn't chest it, delete it, etc. ]

I end up having to do a boot scan, which gets rid of it, or so I think. It happened again, earlier, and I tried to restore my computer multiple times, none of them working.

I'm not sure what options I have, considering it somehow returns each day and then plagues me until I do a full boot scan. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
