the virus will continue to run :(, but you can remove it from whitelisting by goi8ng to avast>settings>exclusions and remove the file the exclusion list.

LAPTOP: Win 10, Windows Defender, Malwarebytes free, Windows Firewall, Mcshield

Well firstly there shouldn't be an easy way to white list a file in avast, so can you be a little more specific ?

e.g. what type of scan was it that detected it, what were you doing, etc.

What is the infected file name, where was it found e.g. (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) ?  
Check the avast! Log Viewer (right click the avast 'a' icon), Warning section, this contains information on all avast detections. C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashLogV.exe - Or check the source file using notepad C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\log\Warning.log

Considering you mention it having a white list button, which avast doesn't have (to avoid the obvious accidental addition).

I have no experience at all of a-squared other than reports in these forums that it has a high false positive rate, so I don't know how to correct that problem in a-squared.

This could be a result of you running two antivirus products at once, you need to choose one and stick with it.

This would be the first thing to do in your attempt to remove the virus

-Scott-

EDIT:As you said that it wasn't detected by avast, to aid detection could you send it to virus(at)avast(dot)com in a zipped and password protected archive with the password in the email body.

Disable Automatic Restart if necessary:
System Properties > Advanced > [Startup and Recovery]Settings
Remove the checkmark from "Automatically Restart" in the System Failure section.

Post the error number similar to 0x00000000 and the driver file name (if any) that fails.
