Most likely a result of avast not able to scan onedrive.
You may post a screenshot so we can see the message avast give

If suspicious you can always check a file from onedrive at virustotal

Boot scan is not meant to be used as a regular scanner, it does not give any detection advantages. It is meant to be used if you have problems removing a infection
