Up to the challenge? | Then install Avast and stop whining about it. Takedn from another post in a.c.a-v Thread: AVAST GONE BESERK "From AVAST Site: Issue On Thursday 3.12. 2009 avast! had a bad false positive issue. At around 12:15 AM GMT we released VPS update 091203-0 which started flagging hundreds of innocent files as a 'Win32:Delf-MZG' Trojan (or, in less common cases, as 'Win32:Zbot-MKK). Among the files affected were high-profile programs produced by Adobe, Realtek, sound card drivers, various media players etc. Solution On Thursday 3.12. 2009 at 5:50 AM GMT, another VPS update 091203-1 was released, fixing the issue (for both 'Win32:Delf-MZG and Win32:Zbot-MKK). If you're still using the bad VPS 091203-0 we recommend to invoke a VPS update immediately. To restore false positive files from avast!

Numerous scanners are flagging it but not most. I posted results somewhere in this thread already.
