Since I never received and answer form Avast and since I do not use Alchohol and Deamon Tools I decided to use killbox to get rid of that file on re-boot, now my sistem is clean again and not receiving such alerts.

Thanks..rm

No that looks OK - when I had the case aswMBR put rootkit in big bright red letters next to it

Try this

kaspersky TDSSKiller  http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363

if still problems, starte a new topic in the "virus an worms" section  http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=4.0

Follow this guide from our expert malware remover Essexboy
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
( post the logs in the new topic you start )


To avoid using multiple post with copy and paste you have to attach the log`s
Lower left corner: Additional Options > Attach ( Malwarebytes log / OTS log ) save OTS log as ANSI

Essexboy will look at the logs when he arrive later today...
