    This is the file in question: \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\DQXBVZV5\wpad[1].cache

    It keeps cropping during Avira's auto-protect function and it's stopped my computer from resuming properly from screensaver more than once. I can't find any data on the associated virus/malware in question and am wondering how to get Avira to automatically delete the file each time it's detected and stop crashing the system. Anyone have any ideas?

    If it isn't how do I fix it so that I don't get the same detection message in future?

    Thanks for the help, I've cleaned out both my IE7 and firefox internet files so maybe this will help. Hopefully I won't have a problem tomorrow.
