Findfast.exe virus?

Last few days the 'pooter' has been restarting on its own following a long series of virus warnings from Avast! that it suspects that Findfast.exe is 'suspicious and should be opened in the sandbox. Despite clicking the OK button and the terminate button, the Avast warnings continue and eventually lead to the restart.
I have tried to restore to a time when this didn't happen and ALL my restore points have gone.
There are 5 instances of the problem file indicated in Search - 1 in prefetch, 1 in MS Office and 3 in an archive folder.
Any thoughts as to likely problem and best solution, please?
TIA
