I received the following email from my family’s home computer last week while I was away on business.
avast! [HOMEACER]: File “hxxp://www.free-tv-video-online.info/” is infected by “JS:Illredir-BP [Trj]” virus.
“%3” task used
Version of current VPS file is 100522-1, 05/22/2010
When I arrived home yesterday, I found the Avast had been disabled on the PC but I could re-enable it. When I rebooted the PC, Avast restarted but again, was disabled. This time the web security portion was turned off and will not restart. Everything else seems to be working. I ran a full scan overnight which failed to find anything although a number of files were reported as inaccessible. The computer is functional however it is very sluggish. Any suggestions on my next step? Thanks!!

Anti-Malware found 0 infections as did full Avast scan. Avast still fails to initialize when the system is rebooted although it will startup when I manually launch it from the system tray. Maybe I should just reinstall Avast?
