Hi,

 

Did an admin privilidged scan of all drives and ESS found a possible threat in "windows/system32/ROBOOT64.exe"

 

 

C:\Windows\System32\roboot64.exe - een variant van Win64/Systweak.A potentieel ongewenste toepassing

 

Next I perfomed a sca on only the file and it got quarantinianed!

 

Could not find this file in the ESET KB. Anybody know what's up with this file? Googled and found that some say it's a windows systemfile, and alot of websites advertise to remove it, of course with their tools? Very confusing indeed!

 

Found this on: https://herdprotect.com/roboot64.exe-eb3043902391a8cbab7f799f35cf676002fc1c52.aspx

As stated above, it's a potentially unwanted application. If you think that benefits of using the PUA outweigh possible risks (e.g. paying for nothing which is often the case of registry "cleaners"), you can exclude the application from detection. Otherwise you should be able to uninstall it in a standard manner via the Control panel or the Start menu.
