explorer.exe Win64:Dropper-gen HELP

[crackthezer0]

So I click on a file and I get a avast popup that says I have that thing in the title, I tried running a scan and it says it found the virus but it gives me an error when I try and delete it. Please Help!! Also I am fairly computer savvy I  don't need instruction dumbed down too much.

While I may not be a regular to these forums, I am fairly sure it is a false positive. Upload your explorer.exe to virustotal.com if you get the exact same results as

The problem occured for me because I had a patched version of explorer.exe. See here. If you had knowingly modified explorer.exe (with a program such as W7SBC) and trust that program, then you may do as I did and whitelist explorer.exe in Avast for now.

Of course, there is still the chance that explorer.exe is malware. So do it at your own risk.

I have also alerted Avast of the file (although the last time I did this they took >3 months to reply...)
