A remote administration tool (RAT) that bypasses the security features of a program, computer or network to give unauthorized access or control to its user.
Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either move the file to the quarantine where it cannot spread or cause harm, or remove it.
After disinfection it is recommended to change all log-in credentials, as they could have been compromised by the password stealer component of the worm. It is also recommended to check infected systems and networks for possible hacker intrusion that could have been performed through the backdoor component of the worm.
More details about the removing procedure you can find in our support center: http://www.f-secure.com/support/technical/av5/support-issue-2002100200.htm
A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part. If you wish, you may also:
Check for the latest database updates
First check if your F-Secure security program is using the latest updates, then try scanning the file again.
Submit a sample
After checking, if you still believe the file is incorrectly detected, you can submit a sample of it for re-analysis.
Note: If the file was moved to quarantine, you need to collect the file from quarantine before you can submit it.
Exclude a file from further scanning
If you are certain that the file is safe and want to continue using it, you can exclude it from further scanning by the F-Secure security product.
Note: You need administrative rights to change the settings.
