1. download locally the avast package
2. unconnect you PC from the net ( really physically , or stop the wirelless )
3. ensure you have you installation package of your own Anti-virus sofware
4. remove it from the Control Panel add-remove software
5. Reboot ( really do it , even if not prompted to do so )
6. Install Avast ( its free )
7. Run the full scan . If nothing found , repeat the steps 4,5,6 for Avast and reinstall your own virus scanner
