Yeah it was flagging html files left and right as infected html:script-inf. I went to nero.com to check for updates for nero and it flagged that site as infected. Then I did a scan and it picked up html files in my vmware help folder. I knew something was up. I scanned with MBAM and ESET online and everything was clean. I also had problems trying to update to the newest definitions but it finally worked. This forum was down as well.
Do the update and then do a reboot. Everything worked again after that. The issue occured on two pc’s for me and both needed the reboot to work.

paraxeno, the false positive incident of today affect websites (and only temporary files on the browser cache).
If you delete files, rather than send to Chest, they’re probably can’t be recovered.
I suggest you reinstall the audio drivers (if avast has moved any file to Chest…).
Thank you Tech… after lots of reading last night I think this is what I will do 
thanks for your reply - at least we learnt sthg from this incident, calm down be patient dont panic and dont delete until advised
