Hi, I'm new to this forum and came because it seems like there are some really helpful people on board.

I'm having some issues and it seems I am infected. I just recently started using Avest! and a pop=up windows comes up about every second saying "avast File system shield has blocked a threat."
Object: c:\windows\system32\drivers\iastor.sys
Infection: Win32:Alureon-FR
Action: Deleted
Process: PID4"

This is literally happening once second or two for the last hour. It started when I was scanning for viruses.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do at this point. It just keeps popping up.

The second issue is that when I search for something in google and click on a result I get directed to a page completely different then what I was looking for. I would understand if it happened once for some crazy site. But this is for wikipedia and other sites like that. Does this ring any bells??

In advance, thanks or any and all help!
