This is one of the trojans found by Avast when CCleaner is running - see the thread below.

Win32:Agent-HAI [Trj] is the last of a number of trojans picked up by Avast when CCleaner is overwriting. The others were false positives, but this is still being detected.

Winxp, I’d be interested to know how Avast detects it for you? Are you running CCleaner when it happens?

Dangerman,

I have just had a brief look into the (long) thread cited above.
I also use Crap Cleaner and Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal.
I think that use of these tools (Crap Cleaner and Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal) in conjuction with Avast
may somehow possibly be related to this trojan virus problem.
I am not an expert.
The same virus popped up again yesterday and is recorded on the Avast Log Viewer under Warning tab as:
Win32:Agent-HAI[Trj] in “C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles\occw7uxq.default\cache\25A17607d01” file.
I do run the Crap Cleaner and Lavasoft Ad-Aware regularly.
Whether these systems were running when Avast detected the virus I am not 100%
certain. I think it may be probable.
The next time I run Crap Cleaner/ Lavasoft Ad-Aware, I will check the Avast Log Viewer for signs of the trojan,
to determine a possible link.
This matter is an ongoing issue, however my computer and operating system appear to be functioning perfectly, and
most importantly, Avast is effectively filtering the trojan (if in fact it is a trojan horse virus? and not some other issue?)

Regards
Winxp

This really should be kept with the other identically named topic in this forum (that you started) http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=29395.0, so as not to split information over two topics and probably cause duplication.

I feel this one should be abandoned (IMHO) to avoid duplication and confusion.
