I am having a lot of trouble removing what I’m guessing is the clickered malware. It seems to be effecting Google Chrome, as whenever I’m using it, I keep getting popups from avast! regularly. This is what it shows:

I’ve tried using Spybot to remove it, but it cannot find it, and avast! won’t give me any other options other than to upgrade.
Any help resolving this issue would very much be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi there, lets have a look see
Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note : You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
[*]Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Select additions at the bottom
[*]Press Scan button.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/frst.JPG
[*]It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
[*]Please attach both logs generated.

That does indeed seem to have done the trick!
Thank you very much!
I’ve also attached the additional logs…
Somehow you had something called hyper-browser, this can come bundled with other programmes
Any further problems ?

No more problems that I can see…
Thanks again for your help.
The origin was a “free” webcam software download from cnet. I managed to remove most of the Malware but the hyperbrowser one wouldn’t shift.
