Really Nasty False Positive

[Razenko]

Hi,

Just a moment ago I turned my PC on and Avast popped up saying my User32.DLL (A system file located in \Windows\System32\) contains a virus  , Win32:Trojan-gen to be exact.
This seemed a bit odd to me since I haven't done much with my PC today, except that Avast updated itself a moment ago and that virus warning popped up.
To test whether this was real or not I uploaded the file to http://virusscan.jotti.org/, and funny enough the only virus scanner to detect a virus was Avast, all the other 20 virus scanners detected nothing.
I also checked the dates of the file and it wasn't modified (It has the same date as on the Windows XP CD).
So I'm pretty sure that this is a false warning  , its just nasty that it is a Windows system file, a similar thing occurred to me a few months ago when AVG thought that one of my Windows files was a virus, and deleted it which resulted in Windows not booting up properly anymore, fortunately I managed to save my Windows installation, but its really annoying when a virus scanner, that supposed to protect you from viruses messing up your system,  actually is the cause of the whole ordeal  .
Anyway, Some additional information:

File: USER32.DLL Version 5.1.2600.2180 (Windows XP Professional Dutch SP2)
Reported Virus: Win32:Trojan-gen (Other)
VPS Version: 080113-0, 13-01-2008

I hope this gets fixed ASAP
