Your first pic indicates that avast! has blocked the threat, exactly what it is supposed to do. The second pic is of other threats that was blocked, BUT what concerns me is they are all Java script exploits. This "could" indicate your Java is outdated. Click the link to check your version

Make sure your adobe is updated

If Malwarebytes’ Is not installed;

Sometimes infections will prevent Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from being installed. This is one of the issues that Malwarebytes Chameleon was created to address.



Download Malwarebytes Chameleon from here, http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/chameleon

and extract it to a folder in a convenient location

Make certain that your PC is connected to the internet and then open the folder where you extracted Chameleon to and double-click on the Chameleon help file and then follow the onscreen instructions to use it.

If the Chameleon help file itself will not open, then double-click each file one by one until you find one that works, which will be indicated by a black DOS/command prompt window Note: Do not attempt to open mbam-killer as that is not a Chameleon executable and serves a different purpose)

Follow the onscreen instructions to press a key to continue and Chameleon will proceed to download and install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for yo

Once it has done this, it will attempt to update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, click OK when it says that the database was updated successful

Next, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will automatically open and perform a Quick scan

Upon completion of the scan, if anything has been detected, click on Show Result

Have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware remove any threats that are detected and click Yes if prompted to reboot your computer to allow the removal process to complete

After your computer restarts, open Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and perform one last Quick scan to verify that there are no remaining threats



What is the difference between the three scan types in Malwarebytes Anti-Malware?

http://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/entries/20883848-what-is-the-difference-between-the-three-scan-types-in-malwarebytes-anti-malware



Quick Scan: (Highly Recommended as your First Scan):

Processes and files running in memory

Files and folders that infections are known install themselves

Registry

Heuristics checks to look for new and unknown infections

Quick Scan is highly optimized for both scan time speed and thorough detections



Flash Scan: (Note: If anything is found by a Flash Scan, then it is recommended that you also perform a Quick Scan to verify there are no additional threats on your system)

Processes and files running in memory

Heuristics checks to look for new and unknown infections

Pro only



Full Scan:

Processes and files running in memory

All files and folders

Registry

Heuristics checks to look for new and unknown infections

Optionally, scans mapped drives (internal/external)



Note: Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware uses Inno Setup instead of the Windows Installer Service to install the program. If installation continues to fail in normal mode, try installing and scanning in safe mode. Doing this is usually not advised as MBAM is designed to be at full power when running in normal mode and loses some effectiveness for detection & removal when used in safe mode. For optimal removal, normal mode is recommended so it does not limit the abilities of MBAM. Therefore, after completing a scan it is recommended to uninstall MBAM using the clean=up tool mbam-clean.exe, http://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/entries/20818461-use-mbam-clean-exe-to-completely-remove-malwarebytes-anti-malware then reinstall it from HERE, http://downloads.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php in normal mode and perform another Quick Scan.

there's a way you could do away with any virus. carry your potential button to reveal off the workstation Wait a minute turn it decrease back on and decide "initiate in secure Mode" on the appropriate reveal as quickly because it begins up, attempt to locate "gadget fix" less than your courses enable this methodology run, and your workstation will restart The virus will now no longer be there the in basic terms repurcusion is that a number of your heritage will be lost (gadget fix takes your workstation decrease back to a time at the same time as it wasn't contaminated)

When you attempt to go to these trusted sites, are you sure you're not being redirected to other untrusted sites?



Try this:



Firstly, boot your computer to the Safe Mode menu screen. You do this by repeatedly pressing F8 as soon as you boot up. Once there, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with Networking. Continue to boot from there, by pressing Enter. You will now see some drivers being loaded. There will be a pause at some point. This usually lasts for no more than 30 seconds.



If that's successful, download and run TDSSKiller.exe from Kaspersky Lab. It's tiny, and takes just a minute to run. It hunts down and kills a specific family of rootkits:



http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208280684



Regardless of the results, download the free version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM). Install it, get updates and run a full scan (still in Safe Mode). This is a direct download link. Copy and paste it into your browser’s address bar, and press Enter.



http://www.myantispyware.com/mbam



After that, boot normally and run another full scan with MBAM. It will detect any malware that wasn’t running in Safe Mode.



If the problem still exists, download and run the free Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool:



http://www.kaspersky.com/antivirus-removal-tool?form=1



You should now delete TDSSKiller.exe and the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, as updated versions are often made available. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware can be easily uninstalled, should you wish to do so, but it may prove to be beneficial in the future.



Hope this helps.

Most of them are java scripts - so delete Java cache, then update Java:

My thinking is its a Android/SMSZombie

You may already have the malware on your computer. Take these steps.



1. Run rkill, no need to install, just download to the desktop, and double click the icon to launch. This will terminate known malware processes so security software can properly remove it/them. A log file will display when it finishes, close it and move to next step.

2. Run a FULL scan with MBAM, it's free:



http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4716-malwarebytes-anti-malware.html

Delete everything MBAM finds, and restart when prompted.



3. Update, and run a FULL scan with Avast.



EDIT****************



Yes, disable Avast, or go into safe mode with networking to download, and install MBAM.

Once you have rkill, and MBAM installed, go back into regular mode, run rkill, then run the FULL scan with MBAM.



Good luck.
