Check my image again all of those indicated in the highlighted area do a memory scan at varing degrees of sensitivity.
i looked at yours dave but are these really trojans since they say they are especially since they belong to programs that are legit?
Why would Avast tag them as trojans?

When you ask an antivirus which looks for virus signatures, don't be too surprised when it finds them and SAS has loaded unencrypted virus signatures into memory and you have asked avast to scan memory.
Which is why we are saying don't scan the memory or realise that you can get unforeseen results.
- With a resident on-access antivirus like avast, the need for frequent on-demand scans is much depreciated. For the most part the on-demand scan is going to be scanning files that would be otherwise be dormant or inert. If they were active files then the on-access file system shield would be scanning them before being created, modified, opened or executed.
I have avast set to do a scheduled weekly Quick scan, set at a time and day that I know the computer will be on. If for some reason my system wasn't on, no big deal I will catch up on the next scheduled scan.
If you check out this image with the Quick and Full scans you will see that they both scan memory up to a degree. Now I think that those two scans can roughly be equated to the two settings in the Memory section of the custom scan.
