From the link it looks like the Floxif Virus infected 32bit systems back in 2017.

Czech anti-virus Avast bought it after.
I did download a a free version od CCleaner previously which also included Avast.
No previous notification of that btw..

It appears it's difficult to uninstall Avast. Not possible through Windows.
It requires it's own uninstaller.

Interesting.
Article says Avast bought CC in July 2017 and the malware was injected in Aug/Sep. Coincidence ?

Avast has crossed the line IMO given the adware and installware.
