wkcalrem.exe

My AV guarantied the "wkcalrem.exe" file from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Shared because of an infection by a Trojan horse "Generic8LDI" (File size 52KB (53217 bytes), which is not healable.
Some of my programs in Microsoft Works will not work without this file.
What do I have to do, to reinstall this file?
Grateful as always to to get your helpful advice.
Thank you.

 

Send the file to your Antivirus's Support Team or Virus Lab as a possible False Positive.

Have a look at this thread for your Antivirus's VirusLab's E-mail address to submit the sample to: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=132843
... or have a look on your security software's site for it

 

You can restore it and then check the digital signature by microsoft, then add exceptions on the antivirus settings before you got the reply from your vendor.

 

It could be a false positive you can see here that it's part of the works suite:

For me the chance that it's really infected is really low but I don't say that it can't be infected. What you also can do is what ink told you to do and then upload the wkcalrem file to http://www.virustotal.com and see how many scanners detect it. I recommend that you perform a repair installation with the works cd-rom.

 

Thank you all, peoblem solved. Here is the answer from AVG:

Private support email removed per the TOS. The detection was a false positive.

 

Good to hear

 

Next time someone thinks false positives are OK, they should read this thread.
