Having the same problem as this topic https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=153451.0
But to a lesser degree, most things seem to still be working, I just continue to get avast popups about blocking:
URL: hxxp://skegnessasc.org/accounts/adminsettings.css
Infection: URL:MAL
every couple of minutes.
Any ideas?

That seemed to have stopped the pop ups!
Run your computer for a while and if all is well I will tidy up
Excellent malware cleansing performed by essexboy, our qualfied remover.
We owe this guy a lot ;D.
Just in hindsight what was out there and detected by Bitdefender’s TrafficLight:

The download detection seems widely covered by now:
