Avast keeps telling me that regsvr32.exe is infected and sending out a request to a website. I’ve run Avast, MWAB, and SUPERantispyware but the warning keeps coming up. What further steps should I be doing to get rid of this?

Hi.
Yesterday I started getting this warning as well. I scanned with Avast, Malwarebytes and CCleaner and it still pops up. I even went so far as to buy the Internet Security subscription and re-ran the scans.
I know there is a real “syswow64 regsvr32.ex” file I need but how can I tell whether this is legit (and create an exception) or the virus version?
Thanks for any ideas!
