I'm getting a hit for an infected file but ClamWin isn't able to clean or delete the file (even after a reboot), I suspect this is because it's in the WinSxS directory. I've searched for this virus but can't find any information about it anywhere - does anyone know what the name this goes by and/or how to clean it?

Scan result:

C:\Windows\winsxs\Temp\PendingDeletes\$$DeleteMe.authz.dll.01c9f3a32c366170.00d2: Win.Trojan.Agent-121982 FOUND

It looks to me like the file should be deleted manually. It is in a temp folder, in a Pending Delete subfolder, and there is a "delete me" comment in the name. If you are paranoid, make a backup copy of it and put it somewhere for safekeeping, but I think it is safe to delete. You can usually delete stuff in a temp folder without any problems.

I already tried that too, it can't be deleted in Explorer or through a Command Prompt. I'm going to try a utility called Unlocker to see if I can get whatever is using it to let go so I can manually delete it.

I'd still like more info about what this virus is supposed to be though.

That Clam signature was published Jan 23. It is a generic patcher. Here is some detail about it from Virus Total at https://www.virustotal.com/file/14024A6023A60BC7799235E02B2D3BB419423A57CC62F92880826F37DFE6EA38/analysis/ on the web.

Unlocker works pretty good. If no results, you might get into Windows safe mode and see if you can delete the file there.
