I've seen this question answered a few times here, but the answers are all system specific, so here it goes again.
I've got a new Lenovo laptop, and must have gotten hit with malware as I was setting it up. On start up or wake up, I get ~16 notifications of avast blocking outgoing attempts to contact sites such as simplesitescan, bestdriverstar, anythichicago, etc.
I've run full antivirus scan with avast and Microsoft's malicious software removal tool and found nothing.
Thanks in advance for the help, I really appreciate it!
