I will post several "replies" to my own message to give you all the logs---they exceed the maximum number of characters on a message.
The other day when my Avast! Free Antivirus ran a boot scan, with "delete" selected, and the computer warned me that a virus was found in a Windows file and asked me to confirm deletion. The message said "... wininet .dll is infected by Win32 malwar –gen" and I Googled the virus name.
I followed the steps in this post
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 and have the logs attached here, in case anyone can help.
