Unity WebPlayer Uninstaller Win32:Malware-gen detection
« on: June 29, 2015, 05:52:34 AM »
Hello i did a quick scan on my PC and avast has found a threat supposedly but looking at the "file name" column in the scan results list and the location was C:\Users\[username]\Appdata\local\Unity\webplayer\uninstall.exe and avast is detecting it as Win32:Malware-gen is this a correct detection or is it another FP? :-[

I'm giving an update.. I went on my Dad's PC with the unity webplayer today and the uninstall.exe on there isn't detected as a threat.. but switch to my computer and it still detects it. Could it be that i have a old version of the uninstaller and avast thinks its malware?

Edit: I disabled avast and uninstalled via control panel, and now reinstalled it.. Its not detected no more.. It was probably because it was a old version of the uninstaller.exe
