Avast!, an antivirus program, reports that the file C_28594Z.dll in c:\windows32 contains a virus, but cannot remove it. Microsoft Security Essentials, when scanning that same file, finds no problem. I tried to remove or rename the file, but failed because it is a system file, which is hidden, and read only. I am running Windows XP SP3.

What do you suggest I do? How do I determine what the file is and whether or not it contains a virus? How can I remove it or rename it?
