    If avast didn't detect this:
    Send the sample to virus@avast.com zipped and password protected with the password in email body, a link to this topic might help and undetected malware in the subject.

    Or you can also add the file to the User Files (File, Add) section of the avast chest (if it isn't already there) where it can do no harm and send it from there (select the file, right click, email to Alwil Software). No need to zip and PW protect when the sample is sent from chest. A copy of the file/s will remain in the original location, so any further action you take can remove that.

    Hi
    to pull this together
    rt click on the avast ball and update-program
    then rt click and schedule a boot time scan
    send any hits to the chest

    (this can be done before or after the SAS scan)
    with SAS be sure to update before scanning
    send any hits to quarantine- do not remove/delete

    then Download Malware bytes anti malware, update  and run a free scan
    put a checkmark next to any baddie found
    then click REMOVE- a backup will also be made

    post up all of the logs

    when we determine which is the operative baddie- there may be many- we'll do what DavidR suggests
