WinSnare can disable Avast Antivirus

As title, WinSnare can disable Avast Antivirus and it appears Avast can’t clean up WinSnare at all. I always got my Avast disabled by WinSnare then everything that I don’t want starting to flooding my computer.

When you run avast in PUP-mode it will detect and remove WinSnare risktool Adware.Searcher.2467 aka PUP.Optional.Wajam.A.
