Solved What is wussa.exe ?

[RalphG]

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.
