I'm getting the following warning when i update SUPERAntispyware definitions
Sign of "Win32:Trat-D [Drp]" has been found in "C:\Users\Jorge\AppData\Roaming\SUPERAntiSpyware.com\SUPERAntiSpyware\PROCESSLIST.BIN" file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner (http://www.virustotal.com/) and report the findings here. I feel virustotal is the better option as it uses the windows version of avast (more packers supported) and there are currently over 30 different scanners.
If only avast detects it:
Send the sample to virus@avast.com zipped and password protected with the password in email body, a link to this topic might help and false positive in the subject.
Or you can also add the file to the User Files (File, Add) section of the avast chest (unless you have sent it there already) where it can do no harm and send it from there (select the file, right click, email to Alwil Software). No need to zip and PW protect when the sample is sent from chest. A copy of the file/s will remain in the original location, so any further action you take can remove that.
If it is indeed a false positive, add it to the exclusions lists:
Standard Shield, Customize, Advanced, Add and
Program Settings, Exclusions
Restore it to its original location, periodically check it (scan it in the chest), there should still be a copy in the chest even though you restored it to the original location. When it is no longer detected then you can also remove it from the Standard Shield and Program Settings, exclusions.

Thanks a lot
