My daughter bought her two nephews a laptop last August, a Dell Inspiron 1545. She set it up for them, and burned a recovery disk at that time. She handed the recovery disk to her sister, our other...

I've come to the conclusion that AVAST is probably not an integral part of this problem. I think the timing was purely coincidental.
