Every so often, when I start up my laptop, avast would detect a trojan in Wab64.dll.
"Sign of 'Win32:Trojan-gen {Other}' has been found in 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech\Wab64.dll' file." -- it says on the log.
This has happened quite a lot already, and it's usually, if not all the time, when I start my computer. And by "start" I mean boot it up from shut down, NOT from Hibernate/Standby.
Any ideas? Couldn't google anything substantial; only long AV scan logs also indicating they had the virus alert.

Ehm, what sticky..?
You could try AVG free edition and let it heal the file if it also finds a threat. -

Hi,
Had the same proble. Since any effort to delete -quarrantine file with Avira Antivir was in vain, did this:
Click Start > Run and type in: services.msc
Click OK
In the Services window find: Network Connection Manager (NetCM)
Select/highlight and right click the entry, and choose: Properties
On the General tab, under Service Status click the Stop button
Beside: Startup Type, in the drop menu, select: Disabled
Click Apply, then OK
Now, go to Start > Run, and copy/paste the following into the Open box:
sc delete NetCM
Click: OK
Redo a scan with i.e. Avira Antivir (which I currently mark as GREAT). -
i had the same trojan and idid this and it worked
restart windows with a safe boot then delete all the commonfiles in your progfiles
sorry for my english -
dont trust avast its not a antivirus if some one ask me

At least double check (actually 30 times) with VirusTotal, there you can upload the file and have it checked with almost all renowned virus scanners.
Then you don't have to install another AV program. Also, contact Avast if it is a false positive.
Check my sig for links.
