Do this BEFORE other major system makeovers (scans; anti-malware app.’s)
If your PC (personal confuser) is misbehaving (POP-UP’s; going to weird, unrequested sites; goofy warnings; etc., & apart from removing any malware already installed on your system) you must
TURN OFF 3rd PARTY COOKIES!!
This stops un-requested cookies ( = pop-ups & websites) from being displayed on your machine.
For Internet Explorer: go to Tools> Internet Options> Privacy> Advanced: here check ‘Override automatic….’; ‘Allow session cookies’; ‘Allow 1st party cookies’; & ‘Block 3rd Party Cookies’.
For Firefox: go to Tools> Options> Privacy: here UN-CHECK ‘Accept 3rd Party cookies’
Opera, et al: not sure, check under ‘options’ for this.
Junk in your system will have to be extracted with Spybot, Ad Aware, and all available trusted cleaners. Good luck.

Go to this folder:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Open the “Hosts” file with Notepad.
See if Avast’s website is listed and delete that line if so. It may be set to redirect elsewhere.
