The first thing to try is a boot time scan, which will check for malware files before they can load into memory. Open the avast! console, schedule a boot time scan and reboot.
For stubborn Trojans, try these steps in my posting in this thread:

If you find a virus keeps coming back after you delete it, it's most probably infected the System Restore folder, the best way to solve this is to disable System Restore, reboot your machine and then enable it again. After all, run a full avast! scanning. System Restore cannot be disabled on Windows 9x.
I suggest:
1. Disable System Restore (enable it at the end of scanning/cleaning):
Windows ME:

Windows XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;%5BLN%5D;310405
2. If you have XP: Schedule a boot time scanning (Start avast! > Right click the skin > Schedule a boot-time scanning. Select for scanning archives. Boot).
If you have Windows 98\Me: boot in SafeMode (repeatedly press F8 while booting):

3. A full scanning with avast, Ad-aware, SpyBot and Microsoft Antispyware
