Check the information on the first post of this thread under Virus/Worms for you to check your machine for malware: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Follow the directions of obtaining an MBAM log (make sure you update MBAM first and if it finds any infection make sure you put it into quarentine) and the OTS logs (save OTS as ANSI and not Unicode).  Post the MBAM log and the OTS log as an attachment (Additional Options > Attach > Post). 

I am going to refer you to our Certified Malware expert, named Essexboy.  He will also review your logs and give you further instructions, however he comes on the forum late UK time.  He will respond to you in this thread, so remember to check this thread daily.

***Please do not make any further changes to your machine after you have provided the logs.***

IMPORTANT: If you are on a home network, disconnect the affected machine from the network.  Do not share a USB/flash drive with this affected machine.  Do not use this machine unless Essexboy instructs you do to malware removal instructions; use a different machine to check email, sync your phone, etc. if possible.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Thank you.
