When did you install Avast, before or after this problem started?
By any chance did you recently do a Repair Install (of WinXP)? If so, what
problems were you having that you thought the Repair Install might fix?

Before running NOD32 Online Scan, you had to install "ESET Online Scanner".
If Avast had not been installed when you ran the online scan, "Microsoft
Support Pages" (whatever that is/means) was detecting the presence of "ESET
Online Scanner" (and chances are that Avast did NOT install correctly when
you installed it later and it is NOT working correctly now).
If Avast had been installed when you ran the online scan, you should have
uninstalled "ESET Online Scanner" via Add/Remove Programs (which you may do
now, assuming you don't want/need to do another scan).
