It's Avast Anti Virus security program, not virus, trojan, spyware nor adware.

i agree,my comp slowed right down after i installed avast.

this is part of the avast 4, if running windows xp x64 then you will not find any problems as this is what it is designed for, although make sure it is disabled in widows xp sp2 as it does not like 32 bit windows. (does not like internet in x32)
