I’ve read on different places and this process/file seems to be some sort of malicious software, I have scanned with my ISP’s AntiVirus which is powered by Kaspersky, Spybot and Dr.Web Live CD. None of them seem to detect it as anything.
I only noticed it because my firewall was telling me it was trying to access the Internet.
The Win.exe file is located in C:\Users\Stephen\AppData\Local\Temp\
In addition to this, I also found temporary print screen images from when I last browsed the Internet in the same temp folder from before I started blocking the win.exe’s access to the Internet. (I did not use the printscreen key by the way it just appeared there).
I tried scanning the file on VirusTotal and the results were as follows:

How can I safely remove this thing? Whatever it is… and how can I make sure there is nothing else like it that my scanners aren’t detecting?


Your current protection should have troubles getting rid of it. Update all your protection programs and run full scans again. It it gets detected, you win.
If no, you’ll probably need to get rid of it manually.
Try this website:
http://www.file.net/process/win.exe.html
I know it may not cover 100% of this issue, as viruses develop the same way as antivirus programs, but you’ll be safe.
The fact that it sits in the Temp folder points to possibility that it was downloaded while you were browsing the Internet, download some stuff… who knows.
try scanning with mALWAREBYTES and HITMAN PRO for adifferent opinion. MBYTES is free, hitman pro has a 15 day trial version
