    What is wussa.exe ?


    Hello all,
    AVG has given me a message saying I have a trojan horse downloader.generic12xjl.
    In my c:\windows\sysWOW64\wussa.exe.
    I have tried to get info. on this (wussa.exe) but have not found any.
    Can someone give me any info on this.
    I have ran three other malware scans and they have not picked up on this.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.:)

    If you're in doubt (and it never hurts to be careful), submit the file to virus total & see what they have to say.

    You may also want to check the AVG website to see if other people are getting false positives on this file.
