I assume you cannot delete them with avast nor send them to the virus chest. Then what I do when avast fails is to go for the files and rename them manually Or delete them permanently with shift+del.
I assume you couldnt delete them with avast itself nor send them to the chest. So try deleting them manually and permanently by shift+del or rename them. If necessary in safe mode.
HI j12a3s4o5n6,
Immediately scan with updated Kaspersky Personal / Pro Trail version. If you can't do that then try Mcafee VirusScan Enterprise 90-day trial available.
