I did a factory reset but I still keep getting notifications of avast that it keeps securing threats. I had a trojan before the factory reset but now avast says my onedrive and spotify are trying to share folders with another file that I don't know. I did scans with malwarebyte, avast, mcafee and I did the offline windows scan, the online windows scan and I used the mrt and not a single one detected it. I only know I have it bc of avast telling me they secured the threats. I have windows 11 home and avast free antivirus. Can som1 help please.

    There is no point of keeping more than one anti-virus applications. There is already Windows Defender by default. Such things lead to conflicts. Just uninstall Avast.
