Suspicious file on my computer

Hello Gavin. I kindly request you to provide us the screenshot of the popup so that we could assist you better by analyzing the exact Issue. Please have a look at this article http://avgread.me/1aZxsAV to attach the screenshot. Thank you.

Just had a popup from AVG which, during diligent search efforts has found "Virus like behaviour" related to a file on my computer:
"C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\AVGSETUP_2XXXXX-8XXX-4XXX-9XXX-6XXXXXXX\INSTALL\AVGSETUPX.EXE"

Definitely sounds like a virus to me.

It would have been funny, but unfortunately I was playing X3 at the time and it has a bug which means that, when you drop back to the desktop, it often crashes…
It crashed.

Anyhow, no significant problem, but I am interested to know what happened… Is it likely that the AVGSETUPX file has been somehow attacked. Or did AVG chase its own tail?

Thanks in advance.
