Hi,
normally you get better chance to delete such an infected file booting your machine is safe mode.
(I don’t not remember which key but you should use either F5, F6 or F8) at boot time to get the seelction menu visible and select Safe-mode.
When you are logged-on, try the delete manually and try your Avast to Sscan and clean your machine once again. When finished, do that at least twice and reboot in normal mode.
Bye.

The command key is F8. Turn on your computer and continually press F8 until you get the “selection menu” to select Safe Mode. If the computer boots to Windows without the Safe Mode option, you’ve went to far and need to try again.
If you can’t delete the virus in safe mode, you’ll need to boot up from a bootable CD like your Windows XP Setup CD and use the Recovery Console to delete the file. If you need a program more user-friendly with a Graphical Interface, try BartPE.

the key you want to press at boot time is F8. then select boot in safe mode and try to delete it then. of that does not work try right clicking the file, go to properties. then go to the security tab. then to the advanced button. then to the Owner tab. once there highlight either your account name or the Administrators group name. then click OK to let your account or the administrators account take ownership of the file. once that is done you should be able to delete it.
