    Hello All

    As the title suggests the file in question is PE_Rom.Dll

    Avira reports it as being infected with :
    The file '59529091.vir' has been determined to be 'MALWARE'. Our analysts named the threat TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen. The term "TR/" denotes a trojan horse that is able to spy out data, to violate your privacy or carry out unwanted modifications to the system. Detection is added to our virus definition file (VDF) starting with version 6.39.00.188.

    I thought great easy to kill and get rid off, but.........

    It keeps coming back.

    After each reboot its there again in the windows directory.

    Funny thing is its only Avira that finds it.

    So after reading your threads and running the tools and programs can you have a look at the zip file and see if you can find out where or what is behind it.

    regards
    Astraa

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    You should not be deleting this file. This is a false detection by Avira. This file is for your Asus motherboad. See: http://binarydb.com/file/PE_ROM.dll-v819161.html

    Thank you for your reply, I had thought it was something along that lines, but you can never be sure.

    Nest question is, why do Avira say its a bad file, and looks like I would be better off with another virus program other than Avira.

    Every antivirus and antispyware program has issues with false detections. Some more than others. Avira is not the worst that I have seen. ;)
