otherwise please post the exact name avast (or your other AV) gives this trojan.. (the above was the filename, right ?) ;)

Sometimes a Google seach for the file name and/or the virus(trojan) name could give you a lot of information about it and its desinfection...  ;)

You can run a deep scan in your system (if you have XP, at boo-time) or even run an on-line scanner... If nothing were detected so, don't worry, avast! did its job  8)
