Have you used Hack Check?

What version of Avast are you using? Free, paid?

Is this on your phone?
As bob has asked. Which Avast product and version do you have?
Personally I would be reluctant to click any links until you get confirmation it is really from Avast. I have never seen anything like it myself.
