VBS:Malware-gen threat detected - Services.exe

Viruses and worms
1

Hello,

Everything was working fine this morning before work, started my computer after work and am receiving that Avast is blocking threats on startup and while browsing.

Attached is an example of the threat detected window. Scanning does not seem to find anything. The pop up is not right at startup but occurs shortly after. (delayed start maybe)

The 2 files it blocks are:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\counters.dat
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\counters.dat

This is literally the exact same thing that happened to me; same file, same location, same service.

I have tried almost every anti-virus thing that I can find.

Malwarebytes
Avast
Combofix
SUPERAntiSpyware
SpywareBlaster (I know it is passive, but It has yet to find anything …)

I have had avast run a boot-time scan; nothing was found for any of the scans (aside from SUPER, that found some bad cookies)
