I'm guessing Avira has either moved it to a vault (quarantined it) or deleted it already. If you wish to put your mind at rest...



Try this:



Firstly, boot your computer to the Safe Mode menu screen. You do this by repeatedly pressing F8 as soon as you boot up. Once there, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with Networking. Continue to boot from there, by pressing Enter.



If that's successful, download and run TDSSKiller.exe from Kaspersky Lab. It's tiny, and takes just a minute to run. It hunts down and kills a specific family of rootkits. Here's a link:

Regardless of the results, download the free version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM). Install it, get updates and run a full scan (still in Safe Mode). Here's a link:

After that, boot normally and run another full scan with MBAM. It will detect any malware that wasn’t running in Safe Mode.



You should now delete TDSSKiller.exe, as updated versions are often made available. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware can be easily uninstalled, should you wish to do so, but it may prove to be beneficial in the future.



Hope this helps.

Avira is only as good as the money you paid for it, get my drift? All freebie are not good enough these days, too much vermin out there.Get a trial of AVG Internet Security, run it, buy it.

Install strong antivirus protection in your system. I would recommend you to use Immunet Antivirus Software. It is best antivirus and works nicely. You can download from http://www.immunet.com/

Answer 7

Run rkill, then rescan, rkill is a small executable (no need to install) that will shut down malware processes so they can be properly removed. READ THE DESCRIPTION, and scroll down to the rkill download links.
