I was NOT running a scan with Panda.I was only running a  scan with Avast.I did find out that Win32:Kuang2 is a Trojan.What do I need to do to get rid of it?I tried to put it in the chest but it wouldn't let me.

What OS do you use? What´s the name of the infected file? It is a fileinfector, so there should be more infected fiiles. THe easiest way is to use a bootdisk or start the computer in MSDOS( Only possible with Win9X).
For other OS or NTFS Partitions you need the Avast BART CD: http://www.avast.com/i_idt_154.html (~60 MB) or if Fat(32) on NT PCs you need a Win9x Bootdisc and a Dosscanner. I do not know if Avast still offers one. If not you can try F-prot( ftp://ftp.f-prot.com/pub you need the f-prot.zip). Unpack it to a folder on your HD and than start with a Bootdisc or start in DOS Mode, start F-prot and let clean it all infected files.

Because of the explorer.exe, you should read this description, too: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_10213.htm
