So here is the whole story. My friend is an idiot and downloaded a pirated version of Warcraft III. Upon running the game his Avast detected this threat and blocked it. As he continued to run the game each time this warning would pop up. I told him to stop and gave him my old warcraft 3 cd which I no longer use. However, I had lost the key code to the game and he used a keygen so that he could play at least the single player. I had him uninstall the game then re-install it using my disc however whenever he runs the game this message continues to pop up. I was wondering if it is possible that this is not actually malware but some security function on the game that avast is detecting? My expertise is pretty limited so any help would be great.
The trojan detected is win32:trojan-gen and its found in the file SIntfNT.dll

As a workaround, you can add these files to the Standard Shield provider (on-access scanning) exclusion list.
Left click the ‘a’ blue icon, click on the provider icon at left and then Customize. Go to Advanced tab and click on Add button…
You can use wildcards like * and ?. But be careful, you should ‘exclude’ that many files that let your system in danger.
