    Its not you or virgin, its avast antivirus. They are having problems and you will need to switch to another antivirus until they get it sorted. Use a good scanner like Malwarebytes to ensure that avast hasnt let anything in it shouldnt do. Everyone is experiencing issues with Avast, its not just you. Dont worry
