Hello Robert,

One way to get further information is to find Win 32/Parasitic-gen.exe on
your system, maybe AVG put it in quarentine, and submit the file at one or
more of the following sites:

http://www.virustotal.com

http://virusscan.jotti.org

Each has a browse window in the upper right to do the submission, and will
check out your file with 10 or so antivirus vendors with one submission.

..mmmm

...looks like either a false positive and/OR you need to re-evaluate your
defenses AND just how good your "safe-hex" is, AND thoroughly scour your
machine for known nasties - e..g with
Multi-AV
AND ...your own up-to-date a/v and anti-malware sweeps - in Safe Mode where
practicable etc.
