Last night my computer was infected with win32:BHO-AHO (PUP). It destroyed all of my files on Microsoft Word in my document folder

AND my Microsoft Word PROGRAM!!!

Why oh why didn’t my AVAST paid up grade secure my computer.

When I did the scan of my files through my Avast program the win32:BHO-AHO(PUP) was listed as a Trojan virus.
This morning while searching through my AVast acct all 17 files were listed the dates, and the viruses that caused me to lose files and to lose my Microsoft Word program.

I did look at the drop down menu under maintenance and clicked onto the virus chest, this is where AVAST has viruses listed.

Also, this morning when I searched on my iPad win.32:BHO-AHO77, a google search brought pages and pages on the Trojan horse. Your replies have me very confused.

Keep away from downloading from Softonic that comes bundled with crap toolbars and BHO adware. Produce the logs asked and let a qualified malware remover here have a look at them,
