If i want to test viruses out make sure to do it in a virtual box that is installed on a linux os or stay disconnected from the internet while testing viruses in a virtual box on a windows os?
How would i go about fixing the issue?

Try the things mentioned in the avast link (they're there for a reason) and see what it says afterwards, the chances are there was no payload dropped but the doublepulsar boreware (a name I give to deception programs designed to make a hole for the actual malware) was detected and as yet hasn't had a chance to do anything.
You have checked with ProcessExplorer to see what programs are running right?

After you've done everything it suggests just run the scan again to see if it is still lingering.
