Like others, i'm getting constant alerts warning about attacks from alwaysisobar.com, http://anythicago.com and others.
I'm computer literate, but only on a basic level.

Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Temporary disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware protection - instructions here.

• Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  
• Wait patiently until the main console will appear, it may take a minute or two.
• In the main box please paste in the following script:

I haven't switched either Avast or Defender back on yet. Should I?

I haven't switched either Avast or Defender back on yet. Should I?

Switching avast off was for downloading and running the Zoek scan - You should be able to restart avast now. You should keep Windows Defender disabled in windows 8.1 as it incorporates a full AV, it isn't the Windows Defender of old.
