so today started pretty cool with my cameras recording a fox catching at rat but went downhill from there

[Coldair]

I went to view the other cameras on my new machine and there no new videos on any of the cameras on this machine so I checked for updates and it said my license was now a basic license so I hopped over to the older machine to see if I messed up my license when I find it running slow normally it runs pretty fast so I checked task manger and BI and Avast was using most of the CPU and memory. Checked Avast and it had not updated completely so I tried to stop it reboot and restart it but no go than I find it had found a virus Spy Boy!MSR and a little searching leads me to this looks like a good one

or to start

it looks like SpyBoy!MSR is a very strong malware that not even the top 31 antivirus and anti malware programs have been able to prevent it.
now this is my main blueiris machine so it is not used for downloading, reading mail or live streaming , so I am at a loss at how it could have gotten effected.

this is what I have done so far

I tried stopping Avast and was unable to, tried uninstalling Avast after rebooting into safe mode. not able to
tried downloading Malwarebytes and it stopped the install at 75%
it will not allow microsoft security to run
I am running the latest version of windows 10 64
latest version of Avast professional

Did you install malwarefox at anypoint?

zamguard64.sys / Zam_guard

I have seen a thread on this tagged on the false positives page, but what is this? Where does it come from, and how is it ending up on users devices? I have never downloaded/installed/used the anti-virus software "Zemana" or any other anti-virus software besides Malwarebytes and windows defender....
