Let it run as it is a false positive. You may need to disable AVG when you run it

is there another scanner i could use maybe? the "primary user" of this particular computer is not comfortable letting anything that prompts a trojan alert to run on the pc. or after going through the last few logs is there even a need to run any further scans?

OTScanit it is not a Trojan - it is detected by the use of Heuristics. This means that it accesses areas of the computer not normally accessed by programmes.. and therefore AVG thinks it is up to no good.. But I will just do a sweep for registry orphans
