w4sgeen9.exe
« on: Sep 9th, 2008, 9:30pm »		 Quote Quote  Modify Modify
I just found a program on my desktop called w4sgeen9.exe and I have no idea what it is or where it came from, but I suspect it's a trojan.  I didn't open it and I want to get rid of it.  Will deleting the file be enough or do I need to do more?  If someone can help me with this I'd appreciate it.
 
Thanks!
Mike

Gavin or Magnus will get back to you as to whether the file is malicious.  
 
Also run it through Jotti at the link below.

Post the Jotti scan results back here and we can go from there as to whether we need to investigate further.

While I was waiting for your reply, I downloaded TrojanHunter from this web site and ran it on my computer.  Ws4geen9.exe was determined to be a trojan and TrojanHunter cleaned it up for me.  That's a great program!  Thanks for your help.

Actually gents, you're wrong: w4sgeen9.exe is the Generic Work4sure client behind the ComponentMatching service provided by a lot of memory vendors such as 4AllMemory.com.  It's a legit program, not a Trojan. he only way it will have got onto your computer Seamhead is if you executed it.  siliconman01, somebody needs to tell Mischel Internet Security that they've got their analysis wrong!
