Is AUTOPLAY.EXE a Trojan Horse Generic4.BO?

My free version of AVG antivirus software says that it is.....but my Norton AV doesn't find it when I do a complete system scan (2.0 + hours).

If it's a trojan horse, how do I get rid of it? I just found it today with AVG Free Edition.

Is this virus (assuming it's a virus) dangerous?

I'd like to get rid of it just in case it is a dangerous/nasty virus.

Please help me get rid of this thing. It's on my C drive under "Documents and Settings".

Thank you.

usually, autoplay.exe is not a virus. It is a necessary file (on many cd's) that give the command to automatically play when inserted into the cd-rom drive.

many other files use this type of command as well

However that being said:

Some malware camouflage themselves as AutoPlay.exe, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder.

You should not usually have autoplay.exe in those folders. if you do, it may be malware (spyware, trojan, etc).
