Welcome to Major Geeks! If you want to check your whole PC for any malware issues then follow thru with the below instructions. If you are only concerned with that one file reported by Avira than it would have been much more useful if you told us exactly where it was located. It may be for something you use. If it is just in a temp folder, you can just delete it.
Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything. Please follow the instructions in the below link: and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions. If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

Helpful Notes:. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs.
See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual update Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only RogueKiller and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account.
