    I hate to repeat myself, but Avast-related products usually utilize the Task Scheduler for their doings.

    My task scheduler is completely empty... I do everything manually only, since MS came up with it Win10 trickery.

    No, some other innocent named file (bat or exe) or instance in registry is trying to start "AvastAntivirusWorldwideE.exe" which is not present (In temp folder)! Two windows, one process is starting other, it would be interesting to examine the nature of these processes with Process Explorer or something similar while they are still active ...
    ...
    These additional "factory" installation disks are always full of garbage all of this should be installed with a great deal of caution, I would write on them "x - suspicious!"

    Thank you, but how often do you think I have used process explorer without seeing anything suspicious there? If you can describe a method to examine all the entries there that will get me to the correct one, and then how to stop it, I will gladly do so.

    And the computer did not come with an additional disc, it came the way it was, and I actually have replaced the OS with theWin7 disc from MDL that has been used on several other computers for the last eight years.

    Have you done a manual registry search with regscanner as advised on post 36 on this thread.
