Even after I ran everything according to this thread and got rid of the crap, Avast would not work. It won't work in safe mode, either. And I can't uninstall it and reinstall it. I'm using AVG now, but I prefer Avast.

BTW, I think the keyboard issue timing was just a coincidence.
From the sounds of it, Avast imploded. I've seen it happen before, and it had nothing to do with any malicious software.

Try the Avast uninstall utility: http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility

That will let you remove it and reinstall it from scratch...
