Haven't heard of it, seems like bad software:

Also http://www.mywot.com didn't like the webpage of the software:

http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/malwareremovalbot.com

What version of avast did you get with the software, Home or Pro?

You could try to scan MalwareRemovalBot.exe at http://www.virustotal.com

And you should only buy avast from the official site or official resellers & distributors around the world:

I did not find any mention to avast in their homepage... Like Bluesman, never heard about it before.

You don't need to pay for avast is you're using a Home computer. Just use the free version.
