These are PUP's ( Potentially Unwanted Programs ) not viruses, if you want to detect PUP's then turn it on in scan settings.

Do Pup types like this can be detected by avast? Or is there another way to eliminate it? If there is a shared way to find out. Thankyou support Avast.

My previous post say's that they can be detected if you enable PUP scanning in the scan settings.

You can also install a program called "Unchecky" which will remove many of the PUP's from program/software installer files.
