My avast told me I have a win32Trojan-Gen virus. I performed a full scan and set it to delete, how can I be sure it is gone? I NEVER use the internet on this computer. I bought this computer to serve as a typewriter. The only things I have on it are Microsoft Office (downloaded legally from the thing I bought at Office Depot), OneDrive (it came with Windows 8 ) and Avast. I think this came from my SD card because my sister has put it in her computer (3 years ago) and I put it into mine three days ago to upload to Zazzle (I put the pictures from the SD card to OneDrive and uploaded them to zazzle from my iPod.) Is the delete option enough? Are my Word documents compromised? Will I have to delete them from my OneDrive? Please help I am really scared that my computer any files I have will not be clean.

Through the thing that pops up in the corner. (What I mean by not using the internet is not opening any browser. I used the internet once when I first got the computer, but that was to go straight from Bing to the Avast website. Other than that time, I do not use the internet.) My brother suggested avast gave me the virus, but I highly doubt it as a. I have had it for 2+ years and b. I only
got a virus result from a scan after the SD card. I have also not been able to find any instance online of someone getting a virus from avast. Should I go online and download malwarebytes as well?
I am sorry about misplacing the post yesterday. Also, thank you for the help. It is nice not to be called a liar (because it totally would be beneficial to lie to someone who is fixing your computer.)
