What I meant is if avast isn't able to handle a particular archive format, this won't change just because you use a boot-time scan.
Yes the .msi is a somewhat specialised archive file a Microsoft Installer file, based on the location it might not be a good detection, so it would be worth while checking.
You could also check the offending/suspect file at:
VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner Or
Jotti - Multi engine on-line virus scanner if any other scanners here detect them it is less likely to be a false positive.
You can't do this with the file in the chest, you will need to move it out.If it is indeed a false positive, add it to the exclusions lists (
Standard Shield, Customize, Advanced and Program Settings, Exclusions) and periodically check it (scan it in the chest), there should still be a copy in the chest even though you restored it to the original location. When it is no longer detected then you can also remove it from the Standard Shield and Program Settings, exclusions.

The other is in a protected area, thought avast might be able to deal with it during a boot-time scan as windows isn't running.
The c:\System Volume Information folder is a part of the system restore function and as such is protected by windows, the only way to clean infected _restore points is to disable system restore and reboot. This will clear ALL _restore points. Once you have disabled system restore, reboot, scan your PC again and if clear enable system restore.
