Do you still have the “AVAST leftovers” in the Recycle bin?
This have worked on occasion for me with similar stubborn removals.

If it still exists in the recycle bin…Restore the file/s for Avast, then run the Avclear Uninstll utility.

This should cleanly remove all traces. Apparently, the ashmon file is not coming out cleanly with the Uninstall utility because it is somehow piggybacked upon a file that you already removed manually.

See if the above helps.
