PC hijacked

[Juliet]

I added an anti-virus program (AVAST) but the stupid thing added links to Amazon and E-bay to my browser

Have you run another tool and this showed up?

I haven't heard of this coming in Avast before.
First, look through your add/remove programs list for items you don't want and can be removed this way.

Glad we could help.
