I assume your email is web-based, e.g. you view it through your browser, otherwise it shouldn’t show up in your Temporary Internet Files ?
If that is the case, then I can’t understand why the Web Shield didn’t detect and stop it before it got to your Temporary Internet Files.
Is the Web Shield enabled ?
What is your operating system ?
If you have XP or Win2k, you could enable a boot time scan. Right click the avast icon, select Start avast! Antivirus, Menu, ‘Schedule boot-time scan…’
