The website link that avast is alerting on, your image and comment:

"Threat blocked skegnessasc.org  because it was infected with URL:Blacklist"

allright i have done it. im just wondering.. this is file in my pc that hiding and make this happends? or just bug in the anti virus that continue to pop it up? just for make sure u got me. im not trying to get inside this website..im even dont know what is this website. the avast pop-up message just jump alone.

What this website is/was Skegness ASC (Amateur Swimming Club)
:Skegness is a seaside town and civil parish in the East Lindsey District of Lincolnshire, England.
It is possible that some time ago this site was hacked, but how/why you are getting redirected there is beyond me.  I don't even know if the site is still active.

That said - If it happens again when the Avast Alert opens, use the See details option and it shows what is trying to reach it. 

Most likely your browser (?) and not a bug in the AV as it has no reason to visit said site. 

It could be an add-on in your browser that is trying to redirect to the site.  Have you recently had any new browser add-ons or updated to existing browser add-ons ?

A google search for returns many hits, I did find this but it too is very old (so I wouldn't put much store in it being current, so I wouldn't recommend downloading anything):

no sir. i didnt added no addons to my browser . the only thing i have done is to install an old Sims 1 complete collection . but i didnt download it. its was saved inside old toshiba storage. shortly after i finish to install it i got error from the install that said
"windows not find restorefunction.exe" and then Avast come inside the game and pop up non stop the massage we see.
the sad thing is that i have scan the folder of sims and of the storage him self with avast to find any virus before i even installed the game , and i did it because my pc is new and i wont take risk. and its didnt found any virus or issue.
this is the pic with "see more" option.

Something on your system is misusing svchost.exe to make this connection. 

Whilst it isn't unusual for svchost.exe to connect it is normally in regard to system connections like windows updates etc.

Unfortunately, this is likely to require specialist/qualified help to assist in this malware removal. 

There used to be malware removal specialists in this forum who could do this, but the need was so small and infrequent that they moved to other more active sites to keep current. 

The MalwareBytes forum still has active help in this area - https://forums.malwarebytes.com/forum/7-windows-malware-removal-help-support/ - this may be your best first option.

I don't know if you do regular system restore points or backup your system to an external source that you can go back to a point before this game installation that you could restore.  If not then a system format is a last resort, but first try the above malware-removal-help-support link.

I appreciate this is a big issue but, Please modify your language in a forum that has no age limits.

The thing is. that AntiMalwarebytes work with avast but he not say nothing.. its only avast annoying. i dont know what to think laready!? this is virus? this is not virus? if this is virus why avast not find it? why antimalware not find it? why avast keep pop-up?
i will try to go forum of malware but im not bealive that forums really help's... the reason i come here its bacouse i payed money for avast. so i wish avast take responsibilty for them protection of my pc.

thank you for your patience and your help. do you know how long its will takes untill specialist/qualified help will help me? igot over 100+ pop-ups in one day :[

That is outside of my control if you are talking about the malwarebytes support forum.

To retain currency the qualified malware removal specialists need to be active, that is why those qualified people go to active support sites.
