Uhm I guess I still have a question..

I have two HDDs -- one for my drives C: and D: , and the other for the drives E: and F: ..

Do I have to reformat both? Or can I just leave drives E: and F: since the ones affected were just drives C: (where 99 files were deleted) and D: (which has just one file infected and deleted by Avast boot scan)?

Virut's first step upon running is injecting the process (winlogon.exe), for this reason firewalls will not identify the virus. The virus will infect files on local and shared drives. It does not depend on usage of these files.
Also completely uninstall your avast! av solution and reinstall anew as the existing av program has been compromised and can no longer be trusted.
