A trojan has been detected by Avast on my PC. I have tried moving it to chest, as suggested, but Avast picks up on it on the subsequent scans. I can’t get rid of it.
Path is as follows:
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\My Documents\archived.pst\Z-Archive\Top of Personal Folders\Sent Items\READ Artile\issue.rtf
The trojan’s name is:
JS:Downloader-AT [Trj]
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Version 4.8 home addition is what I am running.

This is a little weird in that it is a .pst file an email folder from MS Outlook (presumably you have this email program ?) and it is effectively indicating an infected email within that archive.pst file moving to the chest or deletion could effectively lose the emails in that folder.
What is happening I believe is avast can’t extract the infected email from the .pst file without the possibility of corrupting it with the possible loss of all emails.
So presumably this isn’t in the Chest, so the move failed, did you get any errors displayed ?
So presumably you can open this archive.pst using MS Outlook, if so you are going to have to try and find the infected email manually and delete it, clearing the deleted items folder afterwards to ensure it is gone.
Personally I would exclude *.pst files from on-demand scans because of this possibility of corruption or deletion.
removed. thank you. 
No problem, glad I could help.
