INFORMATION ON DETECTING FREELINK WITH F-SECURE ANTI-VIRUS

F-Secure Anti-Virus v5.x and F-Secure Workstation Suite detect and disinfect Freelink with default settings.

However, F-Secure for Windows 98 v4.x does not scan the VBS extension by default.

To fix this, add the VBS to extension list by following these instructions:

1. Download the latest update file from [link removed]

2. Execute it

3. Start the on-demand-scanner by double-clicking the F-Secure icon in your system tray

4. Close the on-demand-scanner

5. Reboot (or just restart Gatekeeper)

Alternatively, you can modify the extension list from F-Secure Anti-Virus preferences manually to add VBS extension.

To manually remove copies of LINKS.VBS from your system, open up the Find command ("Start/Find/Files or Folders" system menu), type "LINKS*.VBS" as the file name and select "Local hard drives" from the "Look in" menu. Wait for the search to finish, then select all found copies of LINKS.VBS and press Delete button to remove them.

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 updatesFirst, check if your F-Secure security program is using the latest updates, then try scanning the file again.
• Submit a sampleAfter 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 scanningIf 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.
