jhProtominer.exe not detected or blocked by Avast

[ezriderz]

I keep finding jhProtominer.exe running on my system sucking up all my cpu cycles.  I kill the program in the taskmanager/processes, then search my system and delete all instances of this exe file (always in appdata/roaming folder) and remove all references to the program in my registry.  Yet a few days later it is back again.  Coming from where, I don't know.

Avast should remove and/or block this pernicious cycle stealer.
