experiencing Sirefef-BTT and now Sirefef-PL [rkt]

Yesterday i started getting red popups from Avast noting the Sirefef-BTT, when i was on web sites. they came in bunches of 3 or 4. I ran Avast quick scan…then an Avast boot scan…it found and moved to chest a bunch of files…I went through and generated the suggested logs. aswMBR says i have Sirefef-PL now…
