Avast popup

Every now and then i get a popup from avast about malaware shouting “threat has been detected” and blocks urls that i didnt even try to acess, and the infection is, i believe
Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]

I ran a full system scan on Avast and no viruses have been detected.

If any more data is required to solve the issue, do let me know, and tell me how to provide it.

Please follow the instructions and ATTACH the logs.

Im attaching the logs for MAM and Farbar

you have a selection of PUP crap … from the log it seems you did not take any action?

Selecting all PUPs http://blog.malwarebytes.org/news/2013/09/selecting-all-pups/

removal team is notified and will check diagnostic logs when they arrive…it may take some hours

i think i quarantined the files. but im running the scan again.
The alert says the suspicious item is in this location (see attached file)

sorry for the hassle, but can you guys tell me exactly what to do, please?

Let me know if this stops the alerts
