    Ran avira this evening and it's calling an AVG spyware .sys file a trojan.
    TR/Rootkit.Gen
    Has anyone came accross this ,I presume AVG is ok . But just on the off chance that there might be something in there??

    I don't use torrents etc. The avira is a subscribed premium edition.

    Thanks.

    If the AVG Antispyware file in question is responsible for pattern matching against known spyware types, its just returning a false positive.

    I think this is the most likely case. I'd say email the details and a log to virus at avira.com and ask them to check if it is a false positive.
