My anit-virus program (Avast! by Alwil Software) found a file named ant-10119.exe on my last scan. The file could not be quarantined or deleted, and I have no idea what it is or if it is dangerous. Can anyone help identify this file?

The file name doesn't help much as viruses often make random names. However, it should have said "XXX detected in ant-10119.exe" or something to that effect where "xxx" is the actual name of the virus.

You can avoid many of these Windows problems with Linux. Linspire eases the transition for new users
