This is a thread going on in the Spanish Forum where the OP said that Avast was detecting a trojan when he used the Teclas pen drive. He also said that Avast could not remove it because he got an " Access denied (5) " pop up.

The Teclas pen drive has a partition " Read-Only " where it has an antivirus-encripted program:

Avast detects an autorun.inf as a trojan; However, Populous and Ady4um told him that the autorun.inf opens a autorun.exe files that is most likely the cause of the alert. The weird thing is that the PC itself is not infected, or at least Avast and MBAM does not find anything.
Now the question is if this is a F/P caused by the increpted program or if it realy is infected.
These pen drives are not very well known and all thier literature is in Chinese.
The OP said he sent the file through the Virus Chest, but if he got access denied trying to remove it the file might be incomplete, unless he was able to send the file to Avast Virus Chest manually. I already posted in the other thread how to send use RAR and send the file.
I suppose this is a matter for the Avast team to see if there is some kind of conflict beteewn the Teclas program in the pen drive and Avast.
