Try Boot-Time scan
Open the Simple User Interface (e.g. by right clicking on the avast! blue tray icon and selecting “Start avast! Antivirus”), open its menu (e.g. by right clicking on the window) and choose “Schedule Boot-Time scan…”.
Then restart Windows, this should clean it.
If that doesn’t work follow the advice given in your first post here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=25001.0

Do you know what file is the virus ?
Have you tried an online scan ?
Maybe you could give us a Hackthis log so we can help you better.
Good luck

If a virus is replicant (coming and coming again), you should:

  1. Disable System Restore on Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];310405
  2. Clean your temporary files.
  3. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast. Start avast! > Right click the skin > Schedule a boot-time scanning. Select for scanning archives. Boot.
  4. Use a-squared, Free AVG Antispyware, SUPERantispyware or Spyware Terminator (trojan removers).

Hope this helps…

Since Trend Micro is able to clean this, use the on-line virus scanner here: http://www.trendmicro.com/hc_intro/default.asp
and post back. The on-line scanner is able to clean virus and worms!
