Hi Volusiagirl, welcome to the forum
First, I would suggest rather than just restoring the file, you should check if it is actually infected.
To access the chest:
Right click avast! tray icon --> Start avast! antivirus -->when the interface loads, click on virus chest (circled in image)
Then follow these instructions:

...You can't do this with the file securely in the chest, you need to extract it to a temporary (not original) location first, see below.
Create a folder called Suspect in the C:\ drive, e.g. C:\Suspect. Now exclude that folder in the Standard Shield, Customize, Advanced, Add, type (or copy and paste) C:\Suspect\* That will stop the standard shield scanning any file you put in that folder. You should now be able to export any file in the chest to this folder and upload it to VirusTotal without avast alerting.
...
To export a file, just right click it and click extract. then choose the folder you created above...
Then upload the file to
www.virustotal.com and report back with the link in your next post.
