Have some form of Malware. HijackThis + Avast logs attached.

[LeeDevonald]

Ok, I'm a graphic artist, and use my computer for my work, but other than that, i'm pretty much "out of the loop" on terms, virus names etc...

so a short while ago i switched from firefox, to google chrome. to see what it was like. and while i love the browser, i seem to have acquired some form of virus or malware while using it.

does anybody have any idea firstly, how to get rid of it? because every time Avast says it's been deleted, i'll get a message about 10 minutes later saying "it's back loser" (not those words exactly, but i feel my machine is mocking me...)

and secondly, whether chrome actually has massive security risks? or if it's just coincidence that i've gotten this stuff while using it.

here is the HJT log:
