   Thanks for any help in this matter?

   Update: I called Webroot Support, and they informed me that Win32 is something that you want and is a false posititve. But, if this is a known Trojan, why is it being installed?

   Avast like some other antivirus applications are known to flag up other security softwares files as malware time to time, as you have talked to Webroots support you can be sure the file is legit as they would kill their business in days if it was found they had malware in their software.
