Possible New Rootkit

General Topics
1

I was just reading through a “remove malware” page that I often visit that a guy made who runs his own IT business in St. Louis here in the U.S and he reported that he came across what might be a New rootkit I dont have a name for it but the file itself is Figaro.sys I don’t have a sample or I would send it to Avast! the symptoms of this Rootkit is

1.Random Reboots
2.Virtumonde Drops
3.Very Slow Logins

my question is does anyone know if Avast! protects against this rootkit or if it is detected as something else (Trojan ect.) sorry if this topic takes up forum space but im just wondering if Avast! users are protected against this.

EDIT: The page I got this from is http://remove-malware.com/
