I just thought I would give credit where credit is due.
Today I did a search on the net for the best free anti virus programme and Avast! was highly recommended. How true!!
Having used another free software for quite a few years, Avast! detected Win32: Trojan-gen whereas the other free anti virus software did not.
Thank you Avast!
I do believe a link from my website is in order!! 
What file was detected and what was its location?
Should be mentioned in avasts log file.
Eddy,
I am new in here as you can see - so eventually I will find my way around and discover where the log file is!
It was discovered in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers
Itâs a start 
Now try to find the name of the file.
Every av has false positives, and I just want to make sure this wasnât one of them.
hint: right click the blue ball near the clock to find the log file.
I have managed to get the required information from the Avast log and it doesnât appear to provide a lot of details.
All there is listed is this:
14/08/2006 18:37:23 1155573443 Priory 3264 Sign of âWin32:Trojan-gen. {Other}â has been found in âC:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\FBAPI.sysâ file.
I hope this is the information you required.
Maybe it is one of those âfalse propertiesâ that has been referred to within these forums. I noted Twilight Phoenix reported a Trojan with the same name when he ran Avast for the first time.
That file is indeed malware.
If you have put that file in the virus chest, you can delete it from there.
If you already have deleted it, leave it that way.
Welcome to the magical world of avast!
I have not removed the malware from the Avast chest as yet - I will remove it real soon.
I am still trying to find my way around the Avast programme to see if I can schedule a daily scan - as I did with the previous programme I had. I will get there eventually!
Thank you for your swift response and help, Eddy - at least I get a reponse in these Forums - unlike others I could mention.
Scheduled scan is included in the pro version.
You can however, schedule a scan with the home version also using the taskmanager.
There is a tutorial for that on this board.
You can find it HERE
With the various resident on-access scanners that provide early detection prior to being saved on your HDD, web shield, network shield, p2p shield, Internet Mail, etc. and backed up by the Standard Shield, this provides a multi level protection and IMHO lessens the requirement for a daily on-demand scan.
Yes you can use the work around link that Eddy provided, but I believe that a weekly manual Standard scan without archives is sufficient. Archives by their nature are inert until unpacked and any executable run, the Standard Shield should have got in on this before the executable is run.
Welcome to the forums.
I have studied the link that Eddy posted and, in fact, did a search for it earlier and noticed it gave detailed information on scheduled scanning on the freeware.

I think I will do as the post suggests - and, indeed as DavidR says, and that is do a weekly manual Standard scan.
Nice to be in the forums and maybe (one day) I will include my adopted countryâs flag!
