Legitimate svchost.exe file is always located in %SystemRoot%\System32 folder according to this M$ article.

I guess you have enabled "through scan" option in avast. If yes, change it back to "standard scan" then the window will not pop up periodically.
Go for "kaspersky 7.0" antivirus. Its good and can help you.
