Welcome saintdale to the forum.
  Does avast ask what you want to it to do,such as send to virus chest? That would be recomended as the malware can do no harm there.Leave there a week or so to be sure of no problems with your system, then delete.

timcan:  the only option given me is to abort.  Thanks for a reply

[timcan]

This is during web surfing,right? You arenot infected if you abort connection.

[saintdale]

Timcan they pop up every 20-30 min on all programs and even if I'm not on the net. I can leave my computer and when I return they are back on.

Have you done a complete scan with avast?

Welcome to the forums, saintdale.    

You should only the getting the "abort connection" warning if you are connected to the internet. Even then, you should not actually loose your internet connection but only loose the connection to the malware that is trying to download onto your computer. But, you say you are getting this even when you are not connected to the internet? Are you sure some malware has not made a connection without your help?

Can you please post 2 screen shots? ... one of the warning message you get when you are connected to the internet and also one when you are not connected to the internet.

Timcan I can't seem to get a picture of it  saved.
I ran spy sweeper and that didn't find it.
I'm on the high speed internet so I'm always hooker on.

Timcan suggested for you to use ewido in his last post. Have you done this?

For future reference folks:

A user can also get the abort connection warning if a Trojan downloader on the machine is attempting to connect to a malicious web address and download malware from the internet.

Good info Frank and something to go with it. If this is correct it also indicates a lack of either a firewall or one that doesn't provide outbound protection.

@ saintdale
What is your firewall ?

Although I'm on dial-up, I believe it is possible to disconnect your internet connection so it isn't always on, only when you require it.

Would Trojan Hunter find it???
