...and what i should remove it.

but i don't have no "Antivir desktop". i even run Avira registry remover to be sure, and still Avast tells me that

i suppose i have virus of some kind, but that's not really Avast problem, is it?

maybe essexboy can solve your problem if you attach some diagnostic logs

see instructions here  https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
scroll down to second picture  Farbar Recovery Scan Tool .... run as instructed and attach the two diagnostic logs in next reply here

see below the box you write in .... Attachments and other options

it will be some hours before essexboy is online, usually after work hours european time
