All of a sudden I seem to have picked up a whole host of trojans, such as win32:fakeav-no or win32:fraudo and a whole host of others. I cant see how I've gotten so infected all of a sudden as I am always very careful about emails n attachments etc. Also something seems to be turning off my windows firewall when I reboot? I've run avast n a few anti malware such as Malewarebytes anti malware programs but they always pop back up in an increasing variety. Help!

If you use an administrator account all the time it could have jumped off an infected usb stick or a bad website. You might also have installed it by mistake if you've downloaded software from an untrusted source, a file sharing network for example or a pirated game. Also keeping your OS and software patched up to date is very important in warding off malware.
Run the anti-malware tools again but from safe mode. Back up any important files while you can and consider a format/reinstall.
