Hello George,

It looks like the detection found by Malwarebytes is a PUP.
The PUPs are (Potentially Unwanted Programs) that aren't necessary to run on the PC.
It is not a real threat for the PC.
However, PUP's detection scanning are available with AVG too.
It has to be enabled to detect the PUPs.
You can find it on "Scan Computer" gear icon "settings" of AVG interface.
Thank you.
