What is the infected file name, where was it found e.g. (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) ?
Check the avast! Log Viewer (right click the avast 'a' icon), Warning section, this contains information on all avast detections.
Whilst it may not be an issue with this detection, but deletion isn't really a good first option (you have none left), 'first do no harm' don't delete, send virus to the chest and investigate.
There would appear to be other elements to this infection either restoring or downloading it again, what is your firewall ?
If you haven't already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it, preferably in safe mode.
