I am attaching a screenshot here, I closed out the window and just restarted the computer, did another scan with Avast, Malwarebytes, Super Anti Spyware and Spybot and got nothing. I'm thinking it may have been a false positive as I was in the middle of windows updates and updating Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 witht he Adobe Application Manager. Anyone else had this problem? I had literally just done a boot scan the night before, and the only place I went to really was Adobe.

Thanks Pondus, did another boot scan and came up with nothing too, so I guess I'll just ignore it. It's happened before to me with a driver update so I figured that had to be it, but it still freaks me out all the same :P
