Has anyone had Avast find a Trojen called <Win32:VBCrypt-AFM(trj) ?.
Yes, usually I have this signature for Zbot samples.
How new is this one?.
well here is AZG variant…first seen at VT 6months ago, so AFM variant should be older

Then the fact that this has been around and is a varient tells me it’s possible
it is a current infection . Despite showing up as blocked,
is a reinstall of the operating system the best solution for this Trojen-Horse?.

Win32/Dorkbot is a family of IRC-based worms that spreads via removable drives, instant messaging programs, and social networks. Variants of Win32/Dorkbot may capture user names and passwords by monitoring network communication, and may block websites that are related to security updates. It may also launch a limited denial of service (DoS) attack.
Recomended program to use alongside avast. MCShield special protection for removable drives http://amf.mycity.rs/mcshield/

and spell variants in the future with diligence.
