I was trying the "new" Google Chrome BitDefender Quickscan extension and it found 1 infected file. Assuming it was a false positive, but wanting to know for sure, I ran it through VT, almost a 10% hitrate as you can see in the link. So at this moment I am unsure what to think about it.

Bitdefender quickscan reports:
C:\Windows\system32\explorer.exe --> Worm.Generic.324167 --> HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\"Shell"

The explorer.exe file in System32 MD5: 8b88ebbb05a0e56b7dcc708498c02b3e C:\Windows\system32\explorer.exe
And the C:\windows\explorer.exe MD5: 332feab1435662fc6c672e25beb37be3 C:\Windows\Explorer.exe

Running on Windows 7 x64 Pro, SuperAntiSpyware and Eset Smart Security installed on the system.

False positive? Or new beasty?

This is 32 bit version of Explorer. It is inside SysWow64 folder, not in System32.
Yes, this is false positive. Probably it's because scanner is 32 bit.
