Where did you get "Avast License.rar" from ?
What is KMS doing on your system ?

A good start would be removing ALL illegal software form your system.

I am using avast free antivirus.   I don't know how it is in the system.   Is the problem because of it?

No, but removing all illegal software is a start in cleaning up the system.
