6 virus's

Avast Mac Security
1

I’m running avast on an older macbook with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on it. I cant upgrade the OS. I only use this mac for streaming TV shows. I never use it for anything else. (even posting this is being done with my newer macbook pro) I am running firefox 48.0.2, and Avast 12.7 with virus definitions 17062502

lately (for the last 3 weeks or so) Ive been getting the same 6 virus’s every day. they slow the machine down to the point of it being almost unwatchable. and sometimes they crash the system. when I run a full scan, it finds 6 virus’s but it wont tell me what they are. so I delete them, and it runs fine for a while, but then the next day, I have the same problem. It is always 6 virus’s. probably the same 6 because the symptoms are the same every day.

Avast never recognizes and warns me of a threat either. but it finds them with the daily full scan. It doesn’t seem to matter what I watch, or where I stream it from either.

Is anybody else having this problem?

any suggestions as to what I should do?

I’m wondering if maybe avast isn’t actually deleting the virus’s and maybe I should restore from back up. would that help? maybe?
