When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix logs. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.
To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

Many security vendors use their own specific names to identify types of malware so it can be difficult to determine exactly what infection was detected.
Did avast provide a specific file name associated with this malware threat and if so, where was it located (full file path) at on your system? -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT. ARE YOU PROTECTED?"

Avast should have created a log file. Check in C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\log.
You also can rescan to make sure it hasn't regenerated and returned. -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT. ARE YOU PROTECTED?"
