I have never used aswclear so I don't know how well it works. What anti virus do you have active at this time. At the present I want to make sure you have one anti virus and one firewall active. Then if you want to go tip toeing through Windows 7 looking for things we can get into that later.
If you followed the directions as recommended in my Post 5 all remnants of Avast should be removed.
NOTE > it is not a good idea to be online without Anti Virus protection.
I suggest you install MSE asap.

Today,There are lots of free anti virus available on the Internet. As per my suggesion you can use Kasper-sky anti virus for your computer security. I have already using for my data security.
Avast needs to be re registered each year I believe to keep the free version running. Its a simple process documented in the software
