Awola is malware and a rogue anti-spyware application. Do a search for it, there are several sites that will help you remove it.

I just went through the same thing ! You need to download the free version(s) of Spyware Doctor v.5.5.0.204 from PC world and Spyware Blaster v.4.0 from Javacool . Like I said they are both free . I also have the free versions of AVG Anti-spyware & Anti-root kit . Of the first two I listed I'm not sure which one did the trick , but I no longer have The problem. I hope this works for you as well as it did for me .

Restart your PC in safe mode

And run a full scan with both.
You may also want to have a look at your start up items by using msconfig.

Be careful with the items you uncheck, you can have a look here to see if they are necessary

You should also have a look at your IE Add-ons.

Disable any you do not use.
After you reboot back to normal mode, down load and install ccleaner to fix any registry problems.
