what is Acunetix In depth checking for SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and Other Vulnerabilities
Acunetix checks for all web vulnerabilities including SQL injection, Cross site scripting and others. SQL injection is a hacking technique which modifies SQL commands in order to gain access to data in the database. Cross site scripting attacks allow a hacker to execute a malicious script on your visitor’s browser.
Detection of these vulnerabilities requires a sophisticated detection engine. Paramount to web vulnerability scanning is not the number of attacks that a scanner can detect, but the complexity and thoroughness with the scanner launches SQL injection, Cross Site scripting and other attacks. Acunetix has a state of the art vulnerability detection engine which quickly finds vulnerabilities with a low number of false positives. It also locates CRLF injection, Code execution, Directory Traversal, File inclusion, checks for vulnerabilities in File Upload forms and much more.

I advise uploading somewhere else or renaming and removing all traces of wvs and acunetix. If you do follow this advice, please provide a virus scan via Virus Total.
To any members who have downloaded this file while it was online/live:
I advise you to double-check your pc with full scans using your own antivirus and also malwarebytes && spybot: (search & destroy) just to be sure. If you aren't happy with the outcome of your virus-scans/anti-spyware scans then please seek further assistance.
I don't think this affects anyone as the file was online for a short amount of time but it's better to be cautious.
