    I suggest you try scanning with another AV tool, e.g. MalwareBytes (malwarebytes.com). Also, see superuser.com/questions/100360/…

  • @James Thanks, I will install malwarebytes trial, hope there won't be any conflicts with (the stupid) avast.

    You don't have to go to "funny" websites to download malware, most malware is sent through, ads

  • I have ran MBAM and disabled WSH and today that warning popped up again... Not sure what else can I do.

  • @Cristy: Try using a couple of bootable anti-virus ISO's (see the link to the SuperUser question in my previous comment) in case you have a rootkit deeply embedded in your system and your symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg.
