Hey guys,
I got an S2 a short while ago, installed Cyanogenmod onto it and a bunch of apps. This morning, when I woke up and checked it, Avast was going wild, saying that an app, Trebuchet, was malware, specifically a trojan. There was a pop up from Avast asking me to uninstall it, however it doesn't work. I get messages saying that Avast has been stopped.
I am relatively new to the smartphone scene, but I do have a ton of experience on the PC side (built one, and have messed around with Linux distros in VMs).

Any help on how to remove the malware?
