    1. did you delete AVG before you installed avast ? If not, remove AVG, you can only run one antivirus program.

    2. Spybot and superantispyware, both do the same job, I would remove spybot.

    3. windows malicious scanner ? do you mean Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool ?

    Try the following then edit your question with an update:

    1. re-set your clock to right time & date

    2. check for tdss:

    3. full scan with malwarebytes (after you have updated it)

    4. right click your browser>run as admin>do a free online scan:

    http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

    this will take time, I will be back for your edit.

    edit:

    thanks for your edit, download free Ccleaner, click tools on the left>startup>hi-light superantispyware>click disable on the right, this will disable free superantispyware from startup (it not required on startup).

    Free superantispyware has no real time protection, therefore not required on startup.

    Source(s): after running free tdsskiller remove it, its done its job.
