Moved to AV board.
Now... did Avast get rid of it, or not?
Run a scan with Malwarebytes Antimalware and remove anything that it finds: https://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/
Post the log results here.
Then run a scan with HiJackThis (as Admin), and post the log here (DO NOT remove anything unless told to do so! Misusing HJT can cause system damage):
HiJackThis | SourceForge.net
Post the log here.
Also go through your Programs & Features list and uninstall any toolbars, coupon programs, search assistants, fake security suites, etc.
Also check your proxy settings:
Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections tab -> LAN Settings... -> at the bottom, make sure "Use a proxy" is unchecked.

Wow ok I will do so, but it sounds difficult because I am not a very good friend with my computer..
It's not difficult.
All you're doing is downloaidng software from the links provided, installing them, running a scan, and posting the logs they generate here. Pretty straightforward
.
And the other couple of things to check I gave you instructions on how to do so.

What do you think of combofix?
It should only be used if the other tools fail since it can cause other issues if you don't know what you're doing with it.

Right on. That's good to know. Do you know off hand what it can possibly damage?
System files in general lol.

Yeah that's true, it could mess up legitimate registries which your machine would rely on to function properly.
