Hi,

I have an XP laptop on which mbam was installed some time ago. I was seeking to update it today, but it wouldn't recognize that the laptop was connected to the Internet. I ensured that mbam had a firewall exception, but it still would not update. So I uninstalled it, and then reinstalled. During reinstallation, the wizard noted that the /ProgramFiles/mbam folder already existed. Thinking that it had simply not been deleted, I checked to make sure it was empty... and it isn't. The only thing in there is a file called gitUsucka.exe.

Naturally, that struck me as odd. :) I could find no reference to this filename anywhere -- such as at experts-exchange or here, or even in a Google search -- which also seems odd.

Anyhow, I renamed the original mbam folder (leaving the gitUsucka file in there), and then proceeded with my mbam install, updated the new mbam, and scanned the laptop. The log file showed no malicious items were found on the computer.

Anyone ever see this gitUsucka.exe file before? I have no idea what it is, or why it would be in the mbam program folder. The file icon associated with it, by the way, is the mbam icon.

Well... that seems like it would solve the mystery, eh? How old is VERY old, by the way? I don't recall installing on older version than the one I just UNinstalled.
