    I ran Ewido to try it. It found 2 so called backdoors. The files are called UWAKEON.EXE and UWAKEOFF.EXE. They both was classified as a backdoor.enculator.01. ANyone have any idea what these files are? I also did a scan with TH and nothing came up. I did a google search on UWEAKEON and it took me to a dell support page. Oh yeah btw Ewido found these files in the c:\dell folder.

    notageek,

    These could well be false positives. Please perform a free online check in regard to these files over here, and post the results.

    In case they show up clean, contact Ewido in order to get this fixed. In case you do get positive alert(s), please post the names, and we'll take it from there ;)

    regards.

    paul

    I've just installed it to try it out
    It doesn't eem to detect very much

    I keep a folder of suspect & known trojans/vieruses that NOD/TDS and others now detect and this one hasn't found any of them at all

    I'll keep it installed for a while as a backup scanner but if it doesn't detect any of the trojans I get hold hold of from ther various forums then it will soon go

    Indeed be VERY careful before deleting something.

    Perhaps ESS is a good program, but i'm quite sure it is not really finished.
    Today i found again an infected(?) file with ESS.
    But because no other scanner found it infected ,i thought it is a false positive ,so i sent it to ESS.
    They told me it was indeed a false positive!They said they already fixed this and that i have to do an update.
    But now it comes: i've ALREADY done their latest update before i scanned and found this false positive o_O :rolleyes:

    Try deleting every file in the "Signatures" directory and then run the online-update again :)

    It is a finished product! But all signatures had to be redone (32545 in total!) because of this: http://home.arcor.de/scheinsicherheit/rebasing.htm
    False positives unfortunately never can be avoided completely, even KAV had one in winrar.exe today...

    Paul, I checked them with KAV file checker and they came up clean. Them files came up clean wit McAfee v7, BD v7 and trojan Hunter so I was assuming they was false positives. Now I'm off to send Ewido and email letting them know about the false positives. But I still would like to kbow what these files are.
