- What was the virus name, what was the filename, where was it found
  example (C:\windows\system32\infected-filename.xxx)?

For files in use that may be being protected by windows, try the schedule boot-time scan in avast's menu (or try the 'Schedule Boot-Time Scan' using RejZoR's AEC avast! External Control Tool
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD - 27" external monitor 1440p 2560x1440 resolution - avast! free  24.9.6130 (build 24.9.9452.762) UI 1.0.818/ Firefox, uBlock Origin Lite, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Hi!
The virus create a temporary file in the following folder C:/winnt/system32/. Even I destroy it, every time I switch on the computer it seems the virus create a new temporary file with a very similar name to the prevoius one. The name of this tempoarary file is dle_ _ _.tmp where the three last characters can change and can be numbers (most of the time) or sometimes letters.
Anyway thank you very much for the suggestion! As soon as I get home I will try to use schedule boot-time scan in avast's menu!
I hope it will work!
Thanks

I suspect this may be a rbot worm variant: hard to tell, but a HijackThis! on another forum with the same avast! virus name seemed to be an infection by this worm.

It would be worth running the rdriv.sys removal tool just to be sure the worm isn't hiding itself with a rootkit, which it sometimes does.

Running the rootkit removal tool won't hurt. I can't say for sure that you have the rootkit, but it is a possibility.

Run the tool before the avast! scan and then try another scan with ewido which might now see something.

hi there!
It seems I have eliminated this virus with the schedule boot scan of Avast in collaboration with Ewido and Ad-aware (both programmes have found some malware). Anyway I will keep on eye on it in case it will be back.
Thank you very much for your help!
