Hi!

Resident scanner checks files that are currently in use (in simple terms it scans your RAM, Virtual Memory and incoming files - It's more complicated but you get the idea). To perform a full system scan and check everything else you have to manually run it. It is best to run a boot time scan if you want to search your entire drives for viruses.

The problem you mention could be a false positive since a full scan does not indicate any infections. Avast thinks that a certain process is a virus. I'm not sure on what to do in that case but you could try scheduling a boot time scan and selecting "Scan archive files" as well. Doing so may eliminate the possibility of a virus being hidden somewhere on the disk (Avast failed to find viruses located in windows system recovery or temporary files many times if I didn't select "scan archive files").

Assuming that what avast reports is true and this file in Firefox was a real trojan then it is safe to move it to chest, it cannot harm you from there since it remains inactive and locked by Avast!. Then you can delete it frome there as well if you make sure that it is actually a virus.
