I did a scan, and it said a threat was detected. It is apparently a HIGH threat, but when I tried to delete them, it said the system couldn't find the file in question. I don't know what to do now. Help please.

Have you tried avast boot scan ? ( only 32bit OS )
avast 5 boot time scan
http://sites.google.com/site/spg20scottsweb/home/avast-5-boot-time-scan
Check your computer for Malware with
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.46
http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
after install click
update
so you have latest database before scan
click the
remove selected
button to quarantine anything found
you may post the scan log here

I suggest:
1. Clean your temporary files.
2. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on. If avast does not detect it, you can try
DrWeb CureIT!
instead.
3. Use
MBAM
(or
SUPERantispyware
or even
Spyware Terminator
) to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, it is better and safer to send the infected file(s) to quarantine (Chest), rather than simply deleting them.
4. Test your machine with
anti-rootkit applications
. I suggest
avast! antirootkit
or
Trend Micro RootkitBuster
.
5. Make a
HijackThis
log to post here or
this analysis site
. Or even submit the
RunScanner
log to to on-line analysis.
6. Clean your Hosts file (replacing it) with
HostsMan
tool.
7. Disable System Restore and then reenable it again.
8. Immunize your system with
SpywareBlaster
.
9. Check if you have insecure applications with
Secunia Software Inspector
.
