Hello,
In Windows/Software_Distribution... I've got alot of "wuident" entries- is it kind of virus or malware?
Where can I get some information about that "Windows/System32" directory,i.e. what there should be and not? I know that files such as mdm.exe or lsass.exe if they are not in Windows/system32 then they are viruses aren't they?
And when I download some shareware applications (Registry Mecanic or Registry Cleaner, etc.) the "WhenU" malware makes self-install on my PC. How to fight it and stay "safe"?
Thanks in advance
