Hi,

Avast, my anti virus program, detected the Win32: Trojan-gen in my
ip6fw.sys file, which I believe is a driver for Windows Firewall.

Currently, the infected file is in the virus chest - I don't know what to
do. If I delete the file, won't it mess up Windows Firewall?

All help very much appreciated,

Thanks very much!

That file is the trojan and has nothing to do with the Windows Firewall.
You need to get rid of it.

I second that. It is using that name to obfuscate it malicious activity.

The file is already deleted . Being in the quarantine means that Avast has
deleted the file from its original location and has placed a copy into a
specific folder so that you can deal with the files further (if necessary) ,
e.g. you want to restore it becuase you suspect false alarm or Avast support
person needs the file for further investigation.This file must be a trojan.
