@zwol: After doing some further testing, I found there may be no malware threat detected or a different malware threat detected such as Chan or Sf:ShellCode-R[Trj]. Both Microsoft Defender Antivirus and Avast have patterns used to detect malware. I think some of these patterns are being written to virtual memory (pagefile.sys) when Microsoft Defender Antivirus or Avast executes. So, while what you suggest will probably work, the fix may be temporary. If I am right, then any execution of Microsoft Defender Antivirus or Avast may recreate the problem.

Addendum: If you want avast to shut up, it should be safe to delete pagefile.sys from the macOS side; then the next time you boot Windows, it will automatically re-create it with clean contents.
