    Hi I'm sorry. This is a whole new ball game for me. I'm running Avira free. It just finished a scan, and it quarantined this. What do I need to do. Never had this before so I'm lost about what do do. I deleted it in Unused Desktop. I have no clue how it got there. Is there more I need to do?? I'm not having any problems with my PC. It's running great. I have Online Armor for firewall and Malwarebytes running in real time
    Thanks!!

    It may be a false positive from Avira as that appears to be a Power Point file. See THIS.

    OK Thanks Tim. I don't remember down loading that. What more do I need to do?? Should I report it to any one?? I've never dealt with this before and I'm totally illiterate about these things.

    There isn't any thing you need to do. If you want to report it to Avira, that's fine. Otherwise, just continue doing what you are doing and keep everything up to date. :)

    Thanks friend! I think I reported it to Avira as a possible false positive. I hope I did it right. You are much appreciated.
    Thanks!!
