Unknown File

The only reference I could find to this file does not explain anything about it, except that it is suspicious...

Anyone know what it is

Cheers

 

I do not know what the file is either, and like you, can not find out any info about it anywhere.....

To me it is suspicious, have you tried scanning the file with any AV's or AT's? or possibly submitted it for analysis anywhere?

Hi Puff-m-d, didn't know where to submit it, so I thought I'd give it a go here first and see if someone knew more about it or could point me in the right direction...

Cheers

 

Hi Blackspear,

Could be an uninstaller

Can you rightclick that file and cehck properties? Does it have a version tab or maybe it displays some company name there in any of the tabs?

Cheers,

 

Thanks for your reply Unzy, I think so as well, however when CWShredder pulled it up, thought it best to check. There are 3 similar icons grouped together, see attached pic.

Cheers

 

I also found reference to "Unvise32" here:

Still none the wiser...

Hi Blackspear,

I believe unvise32 belongs to the DivX Pro codec. Do you have that installed?

About CWShredder detecting this :

The reason such a file can be detected by CWShredder is that one of the CWS variants uses random names as executables, for instance : uifgr5gthj.exe. Because you cannot target such an executable (because it is on each PC a different name) CWShredder scans your machine for files which it thinks are randomnamed.

Therefor, in some occasions it can be CWShredder suddenly says : "is this file random named?" and it could be that it detects in reality a file which is legit.

Other users said the shredder asked if 'direct32cc' etc were randomnamed, while those are in fact legit.

I'm not particulary found of this option in CWShredder, but there are not many other ways to detect that particular CWS variant.

Although, the randomly named executable of that CWS variant is always 10 digits, so I wonder why it also asks for files with lesser/ or more digits. I think you can add in the code :

"look for 10 digit random named files"

I think we will see much more of these questions

To me personally, it's an uninstaller, no harm done on your PC

Hope this helps

Cheers,

 

Unzy, many thanks, I do have Divx installed. Now I have more of an understanding, and with that it allows me to be more at ease

Cheers

 

You're welcome

Take care
