Also see this topic, same issue. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=86662.0.
There is some uncertainty about this file name with some saying it it OK and some saying it is malicious, http://spywarefiles.prevx.com/RRFIGA18699/ADB2.EXE.html and http://www.online-armor.com/oasis2/file/leader_technologies_atari/powerreg/adb2_exe/7185. Now file names can be absolutely anything, so there is no certainty based on the file name alone.
Have you or someone recently installed this program C:\Windows\Downloaded Installations{8379D168-79F6-4394-81A2-BB1944E8F892}[b]Adobe Photoshop Album 3 SE.msi[/b] ?
Do you have Adobe Photoshop Album 3 SE installed ?
Given its location C:\Windows\Downloaded Installations\ even if the whole file (.msi) were moved to the chest it shouldn’t cause an issue as it has probably been installed or at worst you might have to download it again.

The one in the C:\System volume information_restore point could be a saved copy of the above:
There really is little benefit in chasing a detection in the system volume information folder. It is only there because it had previously been deleted or moved from the system folders and this is a back-up created by system restore.
-
Worst case scenario it isn’t infected and you delete it, you can’t use that restore point in the future, not much of a loss and the older the restore point is the less of an issue it is.
-
So if there is any suspicion about a restore point then it is best removed from the system volume information folder or it could bite you in the rear at some point in the future when you use system restore if it included that restore point.
However, PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) are generally tools that can be used for good or malicious intent or applications with undesirable features.
