Detection of ZipPSW worm means that the password protected ZIP with special characteristics was found (Beagle like). I believe you can safely delete it....

Hi,
either you got it again per Email/IM, (happens often with these Worms), or you didnt follow these instructions properly:

empty Mail-trash, too, and compact all Mailfolders afterwards.. then reeneable Avast Shield
