Is there a Java file that ends in -ANE that is a virus that must be deleted or moved to a "chest"?

I have Avast! virus security & scanner. I have had it for about 2 years. I usually just ran Avast! while the computer was on but never did a "boot up scan".

The last 2 days, I ran the "boot up scan" and both times Avast! told me a file under my C drive with an ending sort of like this C://....named user/,,,,Java-ANE , or something like that, was infected and asked what I wanted to do with it: delete, repair...move to chest... ESC.. About 8 or 9 choices in all.

Both times I chose "repair" but Avast! said it could not do that. So I just entered the number to ESC (escape & continue to Windows program sign in screen). This worked fine.

I do not know if I should move it to a chest, delete it or do nothing.

So, what is this Java-ANE file? Is it a virus, worm, Trojan, what?

What happens if I delete it? Move it to a chest?

Thanks for your help.

Try the following:

1. delete java cache:

2. now update Java
3. if Java updates - delete cache again.
4. boot scan with Avast again, if it pop up again, don't click repair, click move to chest or delete.
