This is a new download and install of Avast from today.
I uninstalled it and reinstalled it after this happened but to no avail. Avast won't put up real-time shields since this initial finding of a virus and immediately rebooting after trying to quarantine it.
I am scanning with Malware bytes ... found 3 items; all are in an "old harddrive" folder so none should be hurting the OS.
Here is the MBytes log:
