If you're still having issues, I would advise using Malwarebytes specifically. Avast is a regular anti-virus, designed to be running constantly and detecting issues as they happen. Malwarebytes is an anti-malware tool, designed to be used on an as-needed basis. It does now also have the ability to function as an anti-virus, but that's for the paid version.
Basically, Malwarebytes can detect malware that an anti-virus like Avast or Windows Defender can miss. It's also more prone to false positives, where it thinks something is malware that isn't, but in this case, that's not a bad thing.
