Eset deleted an "uninstall.exe" and now can't remove the program!

Hi everyone,

First ever post here (first ever problem with Eset!) so am hoping for some suggestions/advice on this one please:

I downloaded and installed some trial software - IconLover 5.15 from
-aha-soft . com / iconlover-

anyway, right at the end of installation I got a pop up red warning message from Eset saying:

"Scanner">Real-time file system protection
"Object">file<
"Name">C:\Program Files (x86)\IconLover\uninstall.exe
"Threat">probably a variant of Win32/Hupigon trojan
"Action">cleaned by deleting - quarantined

Now I don't think the program is "dodgy" and I had intended just to try it out then either uninstall or buy, but either way now I don't have the uninstall option...any ideas please? Much appreciated.

There should be a copy left of 'uninstall.exe' in the quarantine which you can restore. But if this is a legit virus I don't recommended executing this, but to me it looks like a false positive.

To be sure you can of course first submit this file to ESET for analyze. How to submit virus or potential false positive samples to ESET's labs

 

After the next update (5346), restore the file from quarantine as it will no longer be detected.

 

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll try restoring after the next update.
