Uninstall question

Hello,

I create a program, and the the program is able to execute the uninstall of the oldest version.
But when I execute the uninst.exe through the program and in the process, a software named Au_.exe apperas, why?

NSIS makes a copy of the uninstaller and runs this so the real uninstaller is not locked and can be deleted, to avoid this use ExecWait '"$instdir\uninstaller.exe" _?=$instdir' and then delete the uninstaller and directory if required...

To something more meaningful, and before write a message here, in some dicussions on the net it's a virus or a trojan...

I agree that something like uninst.exe would be a better name but perhaps there is a reason why it uses that weird name, some anti-virus software are not happy with programs in %temp% etc...
