When I "moved to chest" as avast suggested the scan stopped and wouldn't move on.
I moved to chest and it is a system 32 file so what are my options? The scan will not continue past 5%.

delete, unless it's in the system32 files.

I you don't know what it is, delete it. "Move to chest" means to quarantine the certain files and objects, which just moves them into a controlled space until you know what to do with them.
Just delete it.

Usually, I would move it to the chest, especially if its a file you need or a file pretaining to the Operating System. If its just some spyware junk that was "accidentally" downloaded from the internet while browsing a site, then delete it. Thats not to say that deleting it won't bring it back at your next reboot or keep it from harming your computer again. The chest makes it so that its still on your computer, but it can't do anything.

If Avast won't move it to the Chest and it's not a System File, some of which are held in the Chest for protection, download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

Download, install, update and select Quick Scan

Move it to the chest to start with. Then once a month clean out the chest
