Files won't delete from virus chest

On a new PC during a PCMover transfer of files, Avast stopped the process by finding a virus in PCMover.exe. I can see it in the virus chest; mark it for deletion; but when I click delete, it’s still there. I believe it prevents me from re-installing PCMover because that installation process claims it can’t access a certain directory where PCMover.exe used to be.

How can I get that file off my system?

  • Which Avast…? (Free/Premium)
  • Which version/build of Avast…?
  • OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP/Build…?)
  • Other security related software installed…?
  • Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?
