[onejiz8]

in my avast log viewer under warning section it says sign of win32:trojan-gen found THREE TIMES ONE in temp docs other two say

windows\system32\~.exe"file            ive scaned my computer everything seems to be wokin fine so i canttell if i have  a virus or not need ADVICE PLEASE

[wyrmrider]

you placed these in the Chest- right??
if not update avast and schedule a boot time scan- move hits to chest and post the boot time log here

In either case

create a file C:\suspicious
copy these three there
go on line to "virus total"
use the "search" to navigate to your new folder and upload the three files one at a time
report back

Are you using Windows XP/Vista?
Scheduling the Boot Time Scan

Click on the Menu button.
Choose Schedule Boot Time Scan.
Doing so displays a dialog allowing you to schedule virus scanning.
Check Archives, if you want scan all the archives.
Specify whether all the disks or just a specific folder should be scanned.
Select Advanced options for scheduling details.
Select how to automatically process infected files (suggestion: send to Chest)
Choose how to automatically process infected system files (suggestion: ignore/do nothing)
Click the Schedule button to confirm the settings.

[wyrmrider]

let's get a second opinion
scan with malware bytes online Rogue Remover
then with
malware bytes anti malware

post back if they find anything

It's a strange file, does not seem to be a false positive...

I suggest:

1. Disable System Restore and then reenable it again.
2. Clean your temporary files.
3. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on. If avast does not detect it, you can try DrWeb CureIT! instead.
4. Use SUPERantispyware, MBAM or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
5. Test your machine with anti-rootkit applications. I suggest avast! antirootkit or Trend Micro RootkitBuster.
6. Make a HijackThis log to post here or, better, submit the RunScanner log to to on-line analysis.
7. Immunize your system with SpywareBlaster or Windows Advanced Care.
8. Check if you have insecure applications with Secunia Software Inspector.

Maybe you're seeing files that were there at System folder, clean ones, there for backup purposes automatically by avast.

I can only suggest full computer on-line scanning:
Kaspersky (very good detection rates)
ESET NOD32
Trendmicro housecall
F-Secure
BitDefender (free removal of the malware)

when i do any of these scanning of viruses should i have my avasst off because ive been turning my off every time i do a scan

Some people say yes, you will avoid two antivirus at the same time fighting for detection.
Other ones will say you should never turn off the resident protection.

I'm among the second group of people

I'm among the first
You can still have the web shield enabled, whilst pausing the standard shield and you should also have your firewall keeping your connection stealthed.

It isn't only just about clashed but duplicate scanning which will slow the overall scan duration.

Hi there. I think this filename maybe related to a backdoor trojan.

the latest on my find after tryin kapersky, eset nod32, computer ok scan said then trendmirco housecall that one wanted me to take out avast so i stoped finally f- secure came up with results 1 malware found said it was a tracking cookie n in the process of scan of steps cleaning system was the finsh button  it said system was cleared but when i went to my avst logger the entries were still there so i think the quest continues
