Even ran full scan of defender and ms malware removal tool...no threats...but when i surf..avast starts fingering with js miner threat
Can you post a screenshot of the web page when you get the warning? Also can you check with different connection(some mobile 3g/4g connection hotspot).

Wait to check with other 4g/mobile connection,there is a chance that your net connection itself is compromised(e.g.if you are using net on pc via mobile & mobile itself is infected with some android malware which insert itself into every web page you visit from pc) or if your net provider's network is infected(possible if it is some small cable operator type connection & not big ones like airtel etc) & every web page you visit is getting infected at your net provider's end as traffic has to pass through there.

If 4 g also fails...then it means the pc is infected?
Don't be so sure. Mobiles will work fine because mining trojans are designed for windows & not android. Secure websites are called "secured" because the data connection made over a secured website connection cannot be intercepted & modified else web page will fail to load saying connection error. To me it seems that your data leaving the pc is getting modified & infected which is why no matter what you do nothing will work(incl buying any av paid version). Wait to test with a different connection(4g/3g/2g,doesn't matter as long as it is a different net connection provider than the one you are currently using).

Are you using wifi for your PC ? or connecting through mobile 4g with usb cable ?
If wifi, then its possible your router is compromised. To check, disconnect wifi, connect with mobile, clear dns on windows, restart browser, then try . Also if you have other devices on the same wifi network, then try to open the same websites on mobile that are being blocked on desktop.
Also can try Run "ping blockedwebsite.com" in cmd in windows.
Another thing to try: make a bootable linux usb drive. boot from it and open those blocked websites.
Post exact information, filenames etc of the malware, popups, websites blocked. Uninstall the antivirus if you have to, to find this. No use buying avast paid.

Do this first.
Malware seems to be crypto miners which embed itself into browser so probably won't show up on mobiles as main purpose of crypto miners is to use infected system pc processor for mining crypto currency & mobile phone processors are not powerful enough(at least most of them compared to desktop/laptop processors). As for bootable linux versions,again I am not sure if the same miner can work inside linux browser versions.Best way to check would be another laptop with windows installed.
