    Question [Active] windbg.exe

    So today a Super Anti-Spyware says that I have a worm & the file is windbg.exe. It has the following path C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86). System lookup says that it is a worm while bleepingcomputer says that it is a part of the dubugging tools for windows which I installed for reading a dmp file. I got it from microsoft's website. My question is, which is it? Do I need to uninstall the program to remove it or let it be? For now I let super anti-spyware quarantine it. I don't think that it is set to run automatically. SA found nothing else except cookies & Avira didn't find anything. HJThis in case you need it.

    Upload the file to VirusTotal - Free Online Virus and Malware Scan for security check.

    Well unless SA put it somewhere else, I suppose that the file is gone. It isn't in the quarantine folder. I used the installer to repair it the installation & scanned the replacement (Results). I also scanned the installer and nothing.

    File attached.
    It'd be good idea to post in SAS forum and let them know.

    That there is a false positive? So do I have a problem? Where is that forum?

    I already have the file. A repair initialized from the installer restored it.

    No, you don't have a problem, SAS has a problem with false positive and it's always a good idea to let them know.
