AVAST antivirus, spyware doctor, and zone alarm freeware.  My Avast tells me I'm
infected with WIN32:Adan-052(Adw). Everytime I try to delete it and move it to
the isolation chest, it returns on the next scan or bootup.  Is there any  site
that has a removal tool for this?  Thanks."  Steve.

I do not know which version of avast you are using and also whether it is "home"
or "pro". still for whatever it is worth i would suggest you visit the following web site

http://www.avast.com/eng/virus_detection_and html

as per the site you should disable "system restore" if your operaing system is win ME or xp before you scan with avast and i assume you have done so.

after the scan and detection of the virus referred by you in your post  and you have clicked the "delete" button you should get a window with options
(1) delete file(s) to recycle bin
(2) delete file(s) permanently
(3) if necessary delete file at next system start.

you should put a tick mark on option (3).

after this ok and shut down your system and reboot. the virus should me removed.

good luck and have a nice day----venkat viswanathan
