well here is how it happened;

I was surfing the net, and went to a bad site (cant remember the address). My Avast home ed bells started to ring, and it was giving me the options to delete, or vault etc.. I clicked delete, and tried to close the site window, but it kept on staying open and the alarm bells kept ringing. Eventually i got the window to close, and deleted the virus.
I did a virus scan, 0 viruses found, I also did the avast virus/worm cleaner application, again 0 found.

Now the homepage is set to http://good.allxun.com/ and some of the links i click get diverted to this site; http://error.newcell.cn/?id=1

All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I haven't yet tried the basic malware removal sticky links, as the last edit of the post was over a year ago, and I'm not sure if it is still valid, or how they would react with Avast.

did you change your homepage back to normal in tools>options?
You may have gotten rid of the virus but not the changes it made.
 
ive tried to change the homepage back to normal a few times in tools, it didn't work

I also searched my system for the links that I mentioned so that I could delete them, but the search function couldn't find them.
