The same happened to me this morning, recognized it with a Win32:Trojan-gen and then quarantined the program.  When I went to the ATF cleaner site to redownload the ATF cleaner, I got the same warning.  Can this be fixed?

It should be fixed with the latest vps. Update avast! by right clicking the avast! blue ball, go to Update, and click iAVS update.
