aswMbr.exe finds Win32:Aluroot-B but does not fix.

Hello
I have scanned for viruses with several legitimate scanners including the ones listed by you guys and have come up clean on most except for aswMBR.exe. This one keeps detecting Win32:Aluroot-B in "windows\system32\csrsrv.dll", but will not fix it. My computer is not displaying any noticeable symptoms of an infection. I have attached the requested reports. Help?.

Hi I believe that may be a false positive, is it only AswMBR that is reporting it ?
Download the latest version of TDSSKiller from
here
and save it to your Desktop.
Doubleclick on
TDSSKiller.exe
to run the application
Then click on
Change parameters
.
Check the boxes beside
Verify Driver Digital Signature and Detect TDLFS
file system, then click OK.
Click the
Start Scan
button.
If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be
Skip
, click on
Continue
.
If malicious objects are found, they will show in the Scan results and offer three (3) options.
Ensure
Cure
is selected, then click
Continue
=>
Reboot now
to finish the cleaning process.
Get the report by selecting Reports
Note: If
Cure
is not available, please choose Skip instead, do not choose
Delete
unless instructed.
Please copy and paste its contents on your next reply.

Hi
Yes, it is only aswMBR.exe reporting it.
I attempted to paste in the TDSSKiller report, but it exceeds the character limit, I have attached it instead.
Thanks

OK you are the second one to show this file in aswmbr, in both cases it is the only programme reporting it
I believe this to be a false positive, does a standard Avast scan find it ?

A standard avast scan reports no threats, and I ran a boot time scan yesterday with the same result.
