I see (parts of) McAfee, Windows Defender, AVG, ESet and avast

Delete everything from them using the specific tools/instructions for each of them.
http://www.ache.nl

If the tools worked or not...
Delete everything that is still there from the av's manually.
Folders, files and registry entries.

After doing so, perform a clean installation of the latest avast version:
