    Default New Virus

    I updated my AVG anti virus and had to restart my pc. When I did I was alerted to a new virus. I moved it to the virus vault. However it won't let me heal it and it's a system file. Will this affect my pc's performance and how can I repair this?

    I've attached the details of the infected file below.

    Oh right I see. removing it isn't a problem but as it's a system file will it affect the performance? Is there any way of repairing it or replacing it?
