Additional Details
The Type designation 'Intended' was previously used by F-Secure to identify a program containing problems that prevent it from functioning as the author intended.
For example, if a virus is classified with the Intended prefix, it means that the virus in question can not survive in the real world; usually it has too many bugs.
Update Naming Convention
With changes in the threat landscape today, programs previously identified as 'Intended' would now be identified as 'Virus', 'Trojan', 'Backdoor' or 'Application'.
The update in naming better clarifies the program's overall security profile in the current, more complex threat landscape.
