Please I am really interested in finding the cause of this. Three weeks ago I noticed that there was an Avast software folder in local appdata. Inside it it had Datascan.json file.

Now, I have never downloaded anything Avast related to my pc (neither the CCleaner). Datascan file is clean according to multiple Av’s and virustotal.

What’s strange is it reappers every every Monday. I have done multiple scans of my computer and tried to be as thorough as possible and nothing has come up as being malicious. What could be the cause of this? Thank you
