    I followed the Read & Run Me first tutorial and the only potential threath i found (according to activescan) is C:\WINDOWS\system32\closeapp.exe.
    What should I do?

    Thanks.

    Does the below sound familiar? Did you ever install this?

    http://www.traction-software.co.uk/closeapp/

    If you right click on closeapp.exe and select Properties, Version tab and look at Company, does it say: Noël Danjou
    And does the Copyright line say: Copyright © 2003-2006, Noël Danjou. All rights reserved.

    If so, that is what it is.


    Your logs show no signs of malware.

    I don't remember ever installing that app but I turns out you were right about it.
    Should I delete it? or the activescan warning it's a false positive?

    Panda did not say it was a problem! It said it was a potentially unwanted application which just means it does not know what it is.

    If you don't use it then it is safe to just delete it.
