It may be a false alarm. What file is it detected in?

It was (i deleted it) in "winrar default"

and my comp started to act wierd 3 days ago, but I think that is because my firewall and DC++ doesnt go allong, after i patched both of them. So DC is history now.

no help sorry - but just a comment -

Interesting that you should get this "bug" too! I discovered it a couple of days ago as well!   I disposed of it quickly! probably too hasty I should have sent it in for analysis, cos I'v been unable to find out anything about it. Tonight I emailed Avast for any info they may have in it.. as far as I can tell it's a Trojan of some kind,  not sure how long it's been on my system - it was in a location  where it would not have been "clicked" on - so I only detected it during an "Adaware" scan - and of course doing that - Avast followed it checking each file that was accesssed by Adaware- and that's when it came to light!!
It'll be interesting to hear some more about it.
all the best to you,
Stuart.

It was a false alarm (and should be fixed already). Sorry for the inconvenience.
