No impression of virus, but many of the windows files are missing. That shows that the virus has done a substantial damage to your OS. Run this command- sfc /scannow
Great to see you can conclude anything from that scrambled text. And what type of scan is this?(I have begun the scan).
But what about those .exe and .pif files which I see only in winRAR or Linux MInt and not in windows explorer and Avast tries to delete it???No impression of virus, but many of the windows files are missing.

^Do they still exist? And Avast not able to delete it?
Ok. Now I m going to boot with Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 provided with this month's DVD. But do you think it will work because avast deletes those files and they return again after some time??@ utkarsh73 - use avg,avast, avira or KS free bootable cd to scan your entire hdd - this will clean any virus you still might have
Yes. As I said, only when I open it in winRAR, avast detects and deletes it.

Other AVs don't even detect those files, forget about deleting them. I tried Quickheal, Norton, AVG, kaspersky.Did you do full system scan? (I guess obviously yes). But as you mentioned that the virus is returning even after deletion by Avast, seems like you gotta try another AV.
Corrupted registry.Try this,create a new user account with admin privileges.Log into this new account.Now goto folder options and enable the display of hidden as well protected system files.
Kaspersky Rescue Disk took its own time and scanned the entire hard disk in a little over 3 hours. Removed and disinfected a lot of infections. Lets hope it solves the problem.

I have a feeling IDMAN is the culprit.
