help my computer has become infected and avast is making it worse

[REDACTED]

Dear forum users please help.  I only purchased avast premier last month. So am new to avast.  However I am feeling very sad that for the first time ever my computer has become infected.
The virus is hidden in a program called CinemaPlus-6.1mV01.09.  It brings ad popups all over my computer. it seems to have slipped in via an automatic update.  The worst thing is avast did not pick it up. 
I want to uninstall the program but avast is not letting me.  Do i have to uninstall avast so that i can uninstall this program? please help as its
making my internet experience very depressing at the moment.

The worst thing is avast did not pick it up.

NO security program have 100% detection or zero false positives

if it display ads it is most likely a PUP = Possible Unwated Program

avast PUP detection is default off


anyway follow instructions in the guide given above and attach Malwarebytes and Farbar Recovery Scan Tool logs ... 3 logs total


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


removal helpers will be online later today
