OK I ran a trajan scan with a free AT and this is what it came up with.

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.

 

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

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...

 

Could you please send them to submit@ewido.net so we can have a look at them? Thanks!

 

thank you.I did that but it didn't help
The false positive keeps coming

 

Ok ,terrific support at ESS. They will fix it with the next update

(at 15h02 belgium time :no more false positives, everything seems already be fixed )

 

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.

 

Just to report I sent the files in and was told they are fixed. Anyway I found out what these files are for. Thanks to everyone who responded to this.

 

I found "UWAKEOFF" in my files as well. Did you ever get an answer to what it is? if so please help here. Thanks! very confused Jerry
