Administrators Marcos 5,069 Posted May 4, 2023 Administrators Share Posted May 4, 2023 The detection is correct. However, CompuTrace is not a virus but a potentially unsafe application and this detection is optional. Detections in UEFI cannot be cleaned and the only option is to upgrade your UEFI firmare provided the vendor offers a version without CompuTrace which is very unlikely. Therefore we recommend creating a detection exclusion as per the instructions at https://support.eset.com/en/kb6567. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightking 0 Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 so if the application is weak it might be exploit or rootkit behind this file work in the shadow or stealth mode... uefi:\\Volume 5\Application {057AD6B7-3525-40C8-9D21-552642894E3A} - a variant of EFI/CompuTrace.A potentially unsafe application - retained at least tell me what is this key ? {057AD6B7-3525-40C8-9D21-552642894E3A} do you have the same key with other customers ?

Another-ESET-User 0 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I have te same issue and this is on an Asus H270M-Plus motherboard. I know Lenovo portables have these kind of tracing elements built in where you can take a subcription with Absolute Software to trace the notebook when stolen. But i have never seen this on a Desktop integrator part like a motherboard. Also there are no selectable or visible settings in my BIOS (v1605). I also have the feeling that something is not right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the manual for the motherboard: https://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/PRIME_H270M-PLUS/E12027_PRIME_H270M-PLUS_UM_WEB.pdf . I didn't see any references to Computrace/Absolute settings but those are often hidden settings; Quote Computrace related settings are not visible in BIOS Setup of ASUS X102BA It seems that the BIOS Setup Utility developer decides whether to include the feature to enable/disable the Computrace module in BIOS Setup. There are no policies that force the developer to implement this feature. This creates a serious obstacle for ordinary users in disabling Computrace. https://www.blackhat.com/docs/us-14/materials/us-14-Kamluk-Computrace-Backdoor-Revisited-WP.pdf Note that a mATX motherboard could be used in either a laptop or desktop enclosure. You would have to contact Asus tech support to fully verify that Computrace/Absolute feature was not included in UEFI/BIOS firmware.
