What is the file "uz.exe" for? Is it for downloading the updates?
Avira AntiVir Personal Edition with latest update "caught" it, saying it is infected with TR/Drop.VB.bag [trojan]. It's most probably a false positive, but what is the exact role of the file?

No - apup.exe itself downloads the updates.
uz.exe is a helper program that unzips .ZIP files

Hi All,

I hope this message finds you well.

Me too, encounter the same error message by Nick_White. If I choose to delete the "infected" file, Autopatcher will return with the error "Missing files". I have not yet chosen the "Ignore" option.

Kindly advice.

ps. I can provide/email a sample screenshot of the error should it be needed.

Cheers.

As I have already said, uz.exe is part of AutoPatcher. If you delete part of a program, then that program will not work.

If you need advice about uz.exe being "infected" please read THIS TOPIC.
