New unknown Program

[Quetzal]

Hello,

So I installed LMMS 1.1.3 recently from https://lmms.io/download/#windows. I am pretty sure that this is a safe place to download it but don't know. After it finished downloading, I checked my recently added apps and saw a new program called "Uninstall".

I did not purposefully download this, so I did some research on what It could be. I found out that there is a trojan software called Uninstall too. Is this program a threat, or is it part of LMMS? Or could it be part of windows? I really am unsure what this program is. I did a malware bytes scan and It didn't find anything, but I still want other opinions. And if it is a threat, can someone please tell me what to do next?

 

PS: Below is a screenshot of what the strange program looks like.

 

Thanks!

How do I get rid of it? It does not show up in the uninstall program list.

maybe its undetected malware, i wouldnt trust it actually if malwarebytes doesnt detect it... id format ._. ( just to be sure )

Ok so do I start by uninstalling LMMS?

Could just be the uninstaller for LMMS? See if the same thing is in the start menu folder for LMMS (if there is). Otherwise you could check: right click > more > open file location, then again right click > properties and see where the shortcut leads to. If it leads to the LMMS folder it's part of that.

Normally alot of apps have a dedicated uninstaller (normally uninstall.exe) i wouldnt be too worried. Look in the LMMS directory and see if its in there

umm i would totally wipe out the drive, reinstall windows and format o,o thast what formatting is, if its malware that isnt even detected by malwarebytes ( due ot beeing new ect ) i doubt u can get rid of it easily

 

u said u know  a trojan called uninstaller

 

however it could also just be a left over residue from the program

Agreed. Formatting/reinstalling should be a last resort.

OK, so I believe I went to the program files for LMMS. I went to This PC>Windows>Program Files>LMMS. In the folder, I see the application LMMS and the Uninstall program.

lol everyone knows uninstall is just uninstallation of apps

 

he literally mentioned that he found an trojan horse as uninstaller :v

Also, I have not found any Trojan software on my PC before this.

So thats probably the uninstaller you see. Case Closed

for things like this, right click, more >, open file location.

[vanished]

I mean, it could be malware, but that would never have crossed my mind.  It's almost certainly just the uninstaller for the program you installed.
