I have countered the same problem.
I install full package of pythonxy 2.7.5.1 in windows 8. Other selection during 
the installation is default.
The avast free version report that jepg8.dll is virus.

That it very unlikely that jpeg8.dll is a virus. MS Security sees no issues 
here.

Can you please try disabling any "heuristic checks" Avast has enabled?
