That is because of the system restore.  Correct me if I am wrong, but I dont think the trojan can be avtivated in there.  Plus, avast! should have safely placed it in its chest.

Please deactivate RESTORE, then reboot and reactivate it; read here:

If its in system volume information it is NOT safe, should you for any reason roll back to a restore point it will be restored and active.

avast can't move it from system volume information, it is windows protected storage.

The only way of removal is disable system restore and reboot. Run av scan if clear enable system restore again and reboot.
