It all happened so fast. Sirens were going off, popups all over the place, and the next thing I know my system was rebooting and running a boot scan. Dozens of files were being reported infected by the Win32: Delf-mzg virus, and each one wanted me to make a decision - delete, move, or repair, etc. Some couldn't be moved, some couldn't be repaired, and as a result many were deleted. Yikes! And System restore wouldn't work. I figured I was going to have to reformat what had been a perfectly running system, but first I wanted to know exactly what had been deleted.
I searched the Avast site and many of the other forums and couldn't find the answer. I ran a search on my system asking what files had been changed since 12/2 and stumbled onto the file I needed. I'm posting this for anybody else who experienced the same thing. It seems this should be posted prominently on the Avast site for others who need more help than just restore files from the chest.
Find and Open the file called aswboot.txt. It will print a list of all of the files/programs deleted during the boot scan.
From my list, I've reinstalled A-squared and HostMan and a few others. I'm left with not knowing what to do about the following files...
File C:\COMPAQ\Audio\RTHDCPL.exe is infected by Win32:Delf-MZG [Trj], Repair: Error 42060 {The file was not repaired.}, Move to chest: Error 0xC0000034 {Object Name not found.}, Deleted

File C:\WINDOWS\CREATOR\WNASPINT.DLL is infected by Win32:Zbot-MKK [Trj]
I don't use Microsoft Office so I'm not worried about that one, but does anyone know anything about the others on this list and how to reinstall them?
Thanks
