You can simply delete the file - it certainly should be possible to delete this one.

Hi,

what Win do you have ?
Avast Home or Pro ? What version number for mainprog & VPS ?

do you still get this warning/alert ?
if so,
- please post the complete exact path/folder/filename & virusname
- can you then find/delete the file in SafeMode (F8-Boot) ?

could be a finding in an archive which avast unpacks for scanning;
will probably be gone when TEMP-folder is emptied/avast finished scanning

or Igor might elucidate..
 ;)
