Can anybody help me please?

I use the Clamwin virus check on my p.c. and it's informed me of a virus, Trojan.Mybot-5738.

It's in my Windows\system32\TFTP1340 file,i don't have a lot of knowledge about p.c's,just the basic stuff.

Can i delete the file or if not how do i get rid of the virus?


Thanks in anticipation

I'm running XP Home SP2 and that file does not exist on my system anywhere. TFTP.EXE is a genuine Windows file (which I have) but TFTP1340 is most likely a trojan masquerading as a system file to put people off deleting it.
If it was me, I would have no hesitation in deleting it.
