I can not get rid of Trojan:Win32/Hiloti.gen!A

I am having problems with a used PC that I bought online. It was "clean" when I got it but I have been battling poor performance issues since I started using it. Also, 9 times out of 10 the cursor gets stolen. It just moves off to one side of the screen or the other. after I run Windows defender, it stops moving and I get control back.

Windows defender finds Trojan:Win32/Hiloti.gen!A almost everyday. It removes it but then it is back the next day. The computer also had Trojan:win32/Winsebsec and trojanDownloader:win32/Bredolab.x on it but windows removed those and I assume they are gone. I have windows firewall in place and run Avast. Also, avast does not find Trojan:Win32/Hiloti.gen!A.

I have done the steps prior to asking for help suggested in the FAQ section and I am ready for help.

Thanks

Mike C.
