Help! Pending Deletes Rootkit Threat. How to fix?

Viruses and worms
1

Hi I ran a full scan yesterday on my windows 7 laptop and avast came up with this threat. It says it is High severity but I cannot do anything with it. It says it is a hidden rootkit.

I tried delete, repair, move to chest, but none of them are working!

What is this? What do i do about it? Not sure if it makes a difference, but i did download and install windows updates yesterday before running the scan.

The file name is

Windows\winsxs\Temp\PendingDeletes$$DeleteMe.advpi.32.dll.01cece7dc3faa05f.0002

no results on google for that

Please help me to fix this!

Thank you

Hi,
After lots more scanning, updating and rebooting, my avast scan is coming up clean!!
So I guess it is fixed now.
Thanks
