This is usually an indication of an underlying infection (hidden or undetected) and avast is preventing it from calling home, etc.
- This needs further analysis by a malware removal specialist:
Go to this topic http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 for information on Logs to assist in cleaning malware. Use the information about getting and using the tools and attach the logs here, not in the LOGS topic.

Though generally this should be in the viruses and worms forum.
