Gene,
The server addresses do not belong to Avast.
I am not exactly sure why Avast scanner is registering an attempt to connect unless you have spyware.
Run a spyware scan using Adaware or Spybot S and D.
It is possible that someone is attempting to “hijack” your email list, or you downloaded a trojan which is attempting to connect to a web site where an actual virus will be transmitted back to you.
Do not give permission for these connections. You can go to the Alwil/Avast website and look up the ONLY authorized server addresses.
