According to AVG AntiVirus I have "Begin2Search".
When I try to move it to the Vault or Heal I get the following:
'Threat cannot be removed by standard user rights. Do you want to remove as power user?"
I ran the scan while logged in as a administrator, and I selected yes to remove as a power user. In either case I get the same response:
'Threat cannot be removed by standard user rights. Do you want to remove as power user?"

I use SpybotSD, SuperAntivirus, MalwareBytes Antivirus, Spyware Blaster, and ran Kaspersky...........nothing indicates that I have a problem except
AVG Antivirus. All of the mentioned programs, including windows, are updated and current.

Annoying to say the least. Perhaps it's a false positive since it doesn't come up elsewhere?
