Default O.T. - computer virus?

I have a new Dell XPS 8500, with Windows 7 Professional, SP1,
with Spywareblaster, Avast, and Windows firewall.

(1) TB HD
Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-33-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz 3.40 GHz
Ram 12.0 GB
System type : 64-bit operating system


Lately, when I've run Avast full system scan instead of ending with
'no threats found' it says 'some files could not be scanned'. I called
Avast about this and they said I may have a virus. They told me that
the only way to know for sure was to let one of their representatives
access to my computer. I was very leery of doing this.

Is there any way of finding out whether my computer is infected and
if so how can I remove the virus?

Thanks,
Robert
