CVSS Severity: 2.3 (Low)

Solution:
- 1. Do not save FTP connections.
- 2. Uninstall the application and confirm the deleting of WCX_FTP.INI file. Install Total Commander application again and stop using the FTP account saving feature (workaround method #1).
Combining of these methods prevents Gudeb.32 to spread, but doesn't remove the vulnerability itself.
