In this case AVG is innocent.
I removed all AV and the lottery is still there

63DF0000-63DF1000
74F40000-74F41000
5DE20000-5DE21000

it seems the WOW64*.dll can be anywhere between
50000000-7F000000

The 32 applications present at boot are:

HP Cool Sense
HP Audio Switch
HP Jump Start
HP Message Service
Microsoft OneDrive
Lavasof Webcompanion
Wordweb Dictionary

and also Lavasoft seems innocent as after removal

5C900000-5C901000
5EE70000-5EE71000

I will wait until 1803 is installed, download is in progress,
before making new trials/experiments

Regards
Marco
