false ? alarm

Viruses and worms

I had questions about hijack log. I googled Avast! alarm with:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =
and
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch =

Is this alarm a false positive?
I have Avast 4.8 Home edition and IE 8 beta

This doesn’t look like a malware for me. I think is a false positive.

@ Piet Janszoon and rassel
This doesn’t appear to be an avast alert but and entry from HJT.

It isn’t a false positive as such, HJT doesn’t do anything other than list what is running and other settings, you have to analyse and make the decisions.

There is nothing wrong with the two HJT entries,

So what did avast alert on (it certainly wasn’t these HJT entries):

What is the infected file name, where was it found e.g. (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) ?
Check the avast! Log Viewer (right click the avast ‘a’ icon), Warning section, this contains information on all avast detections.

Thats what i’m confused when Janszoon saidI googled Avast!. I though he said avast detect virus on the hijackthis log.
