You can safely delete the "infected" file, but it isn't actually infected.  Uploaded the file to VirusTotal.com and they show that AVAST! is the only scanner flagging this file, the other 46 scanners said it's clean.  The AVAST! forums are full of posts from people who have this false positive and supposedly AVAST is going to fix it... Supposedly.  The file in question is part of the Windows Defender virus definitions that Microsoft sent out with the last update.
