Avast did not detect zonebak trojan

I was unsuccessful using Avast to scan, detect and remove the zonebak trojan I knew was on my system. (Windows Malicious Software detection tool told me it was.) I ended up using the free Norton Security scan to detect and remove.

You could send the file to virus (at) avast.com for analysis (please, do a link to this thread in the email body).
Also, I suggest:
1. Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.
2. Clean your temporary files.
3. Use
SUPERantispyware
and/or
Spyware Terminator
to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
4. Test your machine with
anti-rootkit applications
. I suggest
Trend Micro RootkitBuster
.
5. Make a
HijackThis
log to post here or, better, submit the
RunScanner
log to to on-line analysis.
6. Immunize your system with
SpywareBlaster
or
Windows Advanced Care
.
7. Check if you have insecure applications with
Secunia Software Inspector
.
