That file A) isn’t in a windows folder as such, but a temporary folder, B) it is only there because avast extracted it there for scanning. That folder may subsequently have been cleared by avast and why you got the Error: The system cannot find the file specified. So I don’t think you have any further action to take in regard to this file.
The avast folder is where avast unpacks archives and or sends copies of files for scanning. It isn’t flagging itself but a temporary file sent to that location for scanning.
The issue is that after successful scanning the contents of that avast folder should be cleared, so something appears to have prevented that happening. This is commonly down to having other security based software installed on the system that would lock the file so that it can scan it.
- Have (or did) you another Anti-Virus installed in this system, if so what was it and how did you get rid of it ?
