VVSN
Overview
VVSN is a software component with unknown purpose.
The company information in the file's properties states that WhenU.com is the vendor.
Looking inside the file, the following URL's appear: http://www.whenu.com/,
http://app.whenu.com/AppInstall.
There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding its classification, since
Symantec reports it as a PurityScan variant,
PestPatrol states that it is part of the WeatherCast software,
PCPitstop says it is part of the ClockSync software, KasperSky
reports it as AdWare.SaveNow.z, etc.

Thank you very much for your time!
