I’ve been having this problem for a couple of days now. I’ve probably downloaded an infected file or something, possibly in a torrent. Since then I’ve had hundreds of Avast!-notifications saying how it has dealt with a certain threat labeled as “Win32:Evo-Gen (Susp)”. I have Googled a bit about this, and to me it seems to be a bit of malware. Ususally not such a big deal, so I tried scanning with Avast!. This didn’t really work though, so I decided to download the Kaspersky tdss-killer. When this didn’t pick up anything either, I downloaded Malware Bytes’ Anti Malware program. This picked up 486 infected files, so I thought this might have solved the problem, but after those files had been put in quarantine, the Avast!-notifications still continued. I’m kind of desperate now, so any help would be appreciated a lot.
All the Avast!-notifications lead to either a web address (clearly spam/malware sites judging by the names…), a file named “svchost.exe” or a specific location in a temporary files folder.
Could you attach a screen shot of one of the alerts please

I would’ve happily added screenshots of some of the alerts, but I haven’t had any. I’d almost say the problem is fixed.
Give your machine a good workout over the next day or two. Essexboy will need to remove tools on your machine he used to remove malware. If something starts acting strange with your machine in the meantime, report back here immediately with details. Essexboy will return after you use your machine to make sure all is working good to remove his tools and give you some suggestions. Thank you.
