If it keeps coming back, there is likely to be an undetected or hidden element to the infection that restores or downloads the file again. What is your firewall ?

If you haven't already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it, preferably in safe mode and report the findings (it should product a log file).

Now when you have your same malware/virus again and when at this time you receive the Avast Virus box you only click on the button "No Action" and  then do a "Search" [computer] for the malware/virus identification. This way you should be able to locate same? From within the search results right click on each of the files presented and do a Avast Virus Scan to identify if one of the files contains the virus
Because if you move same to "Chest/Delete/Move-Rename" it will not be available to find same on your computer untill next "Restart" of your computer.
Hope this may help
Regards Colin
