Today (6/4/2020) upon starting up my laptop I noticed two new processes in the task manager (Image 1). The processes are named Avast Browser (32bit) and Avast Browser Setup (32bit). I had Avast Secure Browser installed on my laptop and have had it installed for a while (although I never used it) however I had never seen those specific processes before. I had seen different Avast Browser Updater processes before, of course, but these specific ones were different (as in different process thumbnails, etc...). Upon checking the file locations of these new processes I had noticed they were in an entirely new folder which was created today, upon startup. The folder name is GUMFFAD.tmp, and its path is C:\Program Files (x86)\GUMFFAD.tmp. This made me suspicious as it is not even in the Avast folder. I scanned the files (and entire folder, which is 26.1MB) responsible for both processes and Avast showed they were clean. Upon checking the properties of the processes (Image 4) I noticed they were, as I stated, created today upon startup. I also noticed they were digitally signed files (AVAST Software - sha256 - Tuesday January 7 2020 7:39:36PM - Avast Software s.r.o.) (Image 3). Upon trying to kill the processes via Task Manager, they refused to cease running. Despite being digitally signed files which show clean upon scanning, I am still suspicious of these files/processes due to the fact that they were created upon startup without my permission or notifying me (as in the Avast program did not notify me of these files being created in an update or something). It is also worth noting that upon seeing these new processes in the task manager I uninstalled Avast Secure Browser via control panel to see if the processes would remain afterwards, and they did (meaning these processes which are supposedly for the Avast Secure Browser are still on the computer and still running despite Avast Secure Browser no longer being on the computer).
I would like to know if these are legitimate Avast files and processes or if they are malware, and if they are legitimate Avast files how to remove these processes from my laptop (after all, I do not have or use Avast Secure Browser anymore)
