You can try Avira rescue cd. You may need another pc to download.When you download the file,double click on it,you will be prompted to insert a cd,the program will be burnt to disc.Inset the disc into " infected " machine and reboot.This program is fully updated and does not load windows.
Your problem may well be elsewhere and not virus related at all

If at first you don’t succeed; call it version 1.0

Why are you sure you have viruses, Germa?
What operating system is it, and what other security applications are installed?
What AV was installed before Avast?
