    Avira is detecting the existence of this virus on my laptop: 'HEUR/HTML.Malware [heuristic]', in my 'C:\Users\AppData\Local'. How do I remove it? Avira has an option to 'Remove'; should I click on 'Remove' from Avira, or should I remove it with a different procedure?

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Thank you.

    What was the name of the file exactly? Include the full path to the file.


    However it may be wise to run the below:
