c:\windows\motive\BTBB\Uninstallhelper.exe//WISE0004.bin tagged as "not-a-virus:RiskTool.Win32.PsKill.1101"
anyone still on BT check for the same file c:\windows\motive\BTBB\Uninstallhelper.exe
This was flagged as crytical with MWAV
and no doubt compressed within the exe you will have the same
Obviously a leftover from bt broadband, any suggestions as to where someone might make a good analysis of this file, my system seems to be safe and cant find any links to auto run the file, so made a copy and deleted the original location. There were no registry entries pointing to it either so I am pretty sure whatever it did is history wiped away by multiple scans and ccleaner sweeps/registry cleanups.
Wonder if this was part of the btbroadband setup disk, I installed it once to see if anything was necessary then promtly un-installed it having found the usual unnecessary installations.

I definitely remember files in the BTBroadband Desktop help (which is what you had) throwing up false positives - mentioned and discussed on BT internal support newsgroup
We advise people never to use the BT CD for anything other than bird scaring in the garden. Their software is truly abysmal.
Here's a google search on uninstaller.exe refined with "btbroadband"

you will see several posts with similar issues
and here is a straight google search on the file WISE0004.bin
