Hello creasey84,
as the analysis for Troj/ZAccInf-B says, Files detected as Troj/ZAccInf-B may not always be disinfectable and may have to be restored from backup.
If you don't have a backup the original version might be nevertheless on your computer (depending on the OS version and its history). You could search your C: drive (make sure sure search for hidden and system files) - IIRC there weren't any changes since 2009.

@ creasey84: looks like you have a rootkit....the Trojan being detected is part of the ZeroAccess family of malware
Check this site for details about ZeroAccess.
known behavior includes
• Disable security applications
• Downloads malicious files
• Infects files
• Steals information
This information is quoted from the Wikipedia Rootkit page:
Rootkit detection is difficult because a rootkit may be able to subvert the software that is intended to find it. Detection methods include using an alternative, trusted operating system; behavioral-based methods; signature scanning; difference scanning; and memory dump analysis. Removal can be complicated or practically impossible, especially in cases where the rootkit resides in the kernel; reinstallation of the operating system may be the only available solution to the problem.
Bottom line: time to back up all your data and rebuild your computer.
