Struggling with Avast popups

[REDACTED]

For the last few days my computer has been bombarded with Avast warnings of malware being stopped. Whilst this is good, it is happening too much and usually receiving 4-12 pop ups a time. How can I sort this out?

Hello,


Scan with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

• Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  
• Press Scan button.
  
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
  
• The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

I think this is the one

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Nope, try again.

Is it this? Or do I need to run it again?
