unwash.exe

has anyone any idea what this 'unwash.exe' is?
i've tried a google search and it only came up with one link - in german.

it was found when i was running an ewido scan, and is now quarantined. but i'd like to know what it is and where it could have come from.

i'm usually clean as a whistle and this is annoying me!

 

If your able to locate the file....perhaps if you right click the file and select properties it might give some useful info ?

Also....you could run an online scan against that file:

http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html (Kaspersky single file scan)
http://online.drweb.com/ (Dr. Web single file scan)

 

Yes, as others already posted, submit it to Ewido and scan the file online at KAV and Dr.Web.


I too have the file :
C:\WINDOWS\unwash.exe

Somehow I think it might be related to uninstalling an older version of WindowWasher from WebRoot, but I am not completely sure about that.

I also have :
C:\WINDOWS\unwash5.exe
and that file is the uninstall file for the version of WindowWasher which I have at the moment installed.

 

Could be a false positive. Could you please send the file to submit@ewido.net? Thanks!

 

Hi,

I don't know whether both files are the same, so here is my MD5 checksum (calculated by CryptoSuite) :

The file <C:\WINDOWS\unwash.exe> has the following Checksum(s)

MD5 - 4621F52EA51C8E37C120C066ED8480FB

 

Hi,

I'll send you my file (zipped).
Give me a few minutes

Of course I don't know whether the file from Mr.Burns is the same as mine

Cheers, Jan.

 

Thanks for the file! It's indeed a false positive and will be fixed with the next update.

 

sorry to sound like a fool, but how do i do this?

it may not matter anyway, judging by the response below.

 

certainly i had windows washer installed a long time ago, just for the evaluation period, then i ditched it.

but nothing has ever shown up on registry cleans etc.
