It is safer to leave things in the VC for a good 2 weeks in general. This way, when Avast does its updates, some things that may have been detected as threats can be rescanned (right click > rescan) and then are found to be false positives in some cases.
It is best NOT to delete these items.
I suggest you do the following:
1. Keep your Avast defs up to date and keep scanning as you are doing.
2. Check your computer for malware with Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware (MBAM).
· Download
free http://www.malwarebytes.org/ for an on-demand scanner.
· Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
· After install, click
update so you have latest database before scanning.
· Under Settings:
o
General: Automatically Save File After Scan Completes is checked off
o
Scanner Settings:
Check all boxeso
Updater: Download and install update if available is checked off
· Once the program has loaded, select "Perform
FULL Scan", then click Scan.
· The scan may take some time to finish, so please be patient.
· When the disinfection scan is complete, a log will appear in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Extra Note).
· Click the
“remove selected” button to quarantine anything found. You will find the infection details under the Quarantine tab.
· The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
·

3. Clean your machine: Download
CCleaner, a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. There is a
Slim version available as well at
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds - 4th options down. It removes unused files (cache, temporary Internet files, etc.) from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner (I suggest making a backup in Documents "just in case").
4. Clean the temp. Internet files that CCleaner doesn't get: Download Download
TFC by OldTimer to your desktop.
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/187-tfc-temp-file-cleaner-by-oldtimer/· Please double-click
TFC.exe to run it. (
Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose
Run As Administrator).
· It
will close all programs when running, so make sure you have
saved all your work before you begin.
· Click the
Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.
Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
· Once it's finished it should
reboot your machine. If it does not, please
manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.
Post your MBAM log in your next post. Thank you.
