Does Anyone Know What “penwes.exe” Is And Is It Bad To Have On Your Computer , I Have Noticed On My C Drive?

By mobile virus Posted in: F-Secure Mobile Security

Programme files (x86) that it is there , i have the option to uninstall it but i am not sure what it is , my f.secure keeps asking to authorise it so i am not sure if it is safe or not .
Has anyone else seen this and had any problems with it ?

  1. Techno Says

    A quick search reveals that there is little or nothing known about the process.
    I’d suggest the following just to be safe…
    The key words here are SAFE MODE with Networking!!!
    Download, (if you can’t get on-line, have a friend download and copy to disc/flash for transfer) install, update and then in SAFE MODE* run full scans with these programs…

    **Note: Malwarebytes should be run in ‘Normal Mode’ unless that isn’t possible!
    *** Important, when downloaded/installed/updated disconnect from the internet ***
    Then re-start.
    Try running a couple of on-line scans to be sure…http://housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/http://go.eset.com/us/online-scannerhttp://www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/s…
    *Note: On start up (before Windows loads) keep tapping either F5 or F8 (be aware that some manufacturers use F8 for system recovery!) then use arrow keys to highlight ‘Safe Mode with networking’ and hit Enter/Return, click on a user account, enter the Administrator password (if you don’t know it, there probably isn’t one so leave it blank) and hit Enter/Return.
