Window Washer Upgrade - Virus Warning

I get a virus warning when I try to update Window Washer and it stops the download and connection, even when I turn off Nod32.

Is this just a conflict or a ghost find?

 

Hello !

Do you mean Webroot's Windows Washer (http://www.webroot.com/consumer/products/windowwasher) ?

How exactly do you turn off NOD32 ?
What is the virus warning you get ? Please be specific and if possible make a screenshot and attach it ?

If you believe it is false positive alarm , you can temporary exclude its folder from scanning in AMON -> Setup -> Exclusions

 

I think NOD32 saved you.

Ime/o ww is a pos.

 

This is what I receive and yes it is the one from link above:

Prob unknown NewHeur_PE virus

 

Thread updated.

I then opened up Nod32 and closed it down to see if it would work but then the download link would not open.

 

I wouldn't doubt NOD32 on this.

 

The executable seems to show version 4.09? The new version of Window Washer is 6.5. Like Zapjb suspects please confirm the update version.

 

I tend to agree, downloaded it 4 times and got 4 different size files, something might be wrong with their server. Trust NOD on this one. Submitted 3 of the files I dl'd for analysis. 4th says it was corrupted.

 

I also used a retail link for ww 6.5 with ESSb...The very same result,either a FP or webroot has been ´hacked´...Hard to beleive,must be a FP...Managed to get the exe in spite of deleted download, and, the same when opening the file...

 

Try uploading it to Jotti's or Virus total, I forgot too before I deleted the files.

 

Hi,

Just ran the file through Jotti Scanner and Nod is only AV that is detecting the file.

Cheers

True but only in the file name. The file properties does show file version 6.5

Hopefully Eset will acquire a sample so they can confirm whether it's an FP or not .

I just upgraded to Window Washer 6.5.0.1093 from version 6.0.5.609 and now washing with bleach set to 7 wipes is so slow. With the older version, it only took a few minutes to wipe 1000's of temp internet files. Now it is taking over 10x as long. I have been washing now for 25 minutes and haven't even washed 2000 items yet. This is ridiculous. I also got a false positive with NOD32 when I downloaded and installed the update from Webroots site. How long is everyone else taking to wash files?

I have a Core 2 Duo at 2.4GHz and 4 GB of ram running Vista Ultimate...

 

To those concerned,

With signatures 2461 applied....the wwsetup409_.exe file is no longer flagged by Imon\Amon.

Thanks for the update Bubba.

 

dscrap you have the setting set to clean 7 times if you want it faster choose 3 times or the single pass is the fastest mrgigabyte
