Iraskindc,
Actually put it back. You more than likely have a "false postive" caused by the way Avast compares "suspect files" to the database. READ THIS, for a more in depth explanation.
Was the scan result that of Panda? Do you have Panda antivirus running on your computer?
A: This is a known problem. Let´s try to explain what´s going on:
Every virus can be identified, because it contains some unique signatures. Antiviral programs have their own database of that signatures. We call this database the "virus definition file".
When an antiviral program scans a file for viruses, it compares all the signatures (of all viruses) in the database with the signatures in that file. If the signatures match (they are the same), the file is marked as infected. For an antivirus program, it is important to hide this database of signatures somehow - e.g. by encrypting it. Panda Antivirus does not encrypt its virus database - the signatures inside are clearly "visible" to other antiviral programs, so they detect this file as infected (but there is actually no virus inside - only the signatures are the same).
We can´t do anything about that, only recommend not to use two or more antiviral programs at the same time, or put that files to the list of exclusions, so they will not be scanned anymore.
Additional info:
Here is the list of Panda Antivirus files that avast! detects as infected:
* IMSCAN.DLL
* PAVDLL.DLL
* PAV.SIG
* APVXD.VX2
* APVXD.VXD
Here is the "virus that you detected in the mentioned. Avast "sees" the unencrypted database file" as an actual virus.
* Win32:Kuang2
You can restore the file to where it came from.
Take Care.
