   Hi there,
   
   I have found the following trojan, it has been moved safely to my Avast chest, does anyone know if it can still cause damage and how I get rid of it, and also where it might have come from to start with?
   
   Many thanks guys.

   If you successfully moved it to the chest then you already got rid of it. You can just empty the chest to permanently remove it.
   
   As for where it came from, we have no idea. The name of the trojan is totally useless as it is just something that Avast coined and gave to this. We would have to know exactly what was found and where not the name that Avast decide to use.
