 Hi, welcome to Avast forum! :D
I analyzed that program at virustotal.com and i'm afraid that you chat program is really a virus! :o
Here is the result of scan: https://www.virustotal.com/nl/analisis/67377bb15bb18c1420789797aa62170e488f513a8f5c747834d678e72e238695-1254896314

Dear McJarod,

I recommend doing the following:

1. Download and update Avast (http://files.avast.com/files/latest/avast_home_setup.exe)
2. Download and update MBAM (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php)
3. Disconnect your computer from the internet (ie. pull the cable out or turn the router off)
4. Run a boot-time scan with Avast
5. Do a full scan with MBAM
6. Download and update SAS (http://downloads.superantispyware.com/downloads/SUPERAntiSpyware.exe)
7. Do a full scan with SAS
8. Download CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds/downloading-slim)
9. Run Ccleaner
10. Download HJT (http://go.trendmicro.com/free-tools/hijackthis/HijackThisInstaller.exe)
11. Run HJT and click 'Do a scan and save a logfile)

Post the results from Avast, MBAM, SAS and HJT here. The friendly Avast Forum members will be able to help :-)

Best wishes,

 So, it isn't a virus?!  ??? But 58.54% of the antivirus programs at virustotal flag it as a virus! Does this mean that they are all wrong?

No it isn't a virus, this detection spread to many AVs without deeper analysing and this program is not probably used by many users, so no complains no fixing.

I can only strongly urge you to follow the steps above. The scans from the various anti-virus and anti-malware programs will prove how seriously your system is infected.

If you post the logs and results here, I am sure that Avast forum experts will try and assist.
