vius alert : win32:Alureon-EU

I keep getting Avast 'Virus Was Found' alert

Filename : c:\windows\system32\drivers\atapi.sys
Malware name : win32:Alureon-EU
Malware type : Virus/Worm
Recommended Action : Move To Chest

I have attempted to move to chest 10 times + but the alert still comes up

After checking on the Internet it looks like it's a new problem but I can't work out how to resolve it or if it is dangerous.

Please help.

Thanks

    Thanks

    I've downloaded the latest versions of Defender etc and the Firewall is on.

    I'm up to date with CC Cleaner, Avast and Malwarebyte and have ran them.

    Do you think I'm safe now or do I need to run further checks ?

    Many Thanks
