F-Secure Virus Descriptions : TNT





NAME:TNT
ALIAS:Turbo Antivirus

TNT is not a virus, but an antivirus program. If F-Secure anti-virus products say that a program has been modified by Turbo Antivirus, it means that Turbo Antivirus has added a self-checking module to the end of the program.

When a program modified in this way is executed, the added code will first check that the length of the program is not changed, and allows the program to execute only if this is not the case.

F-Secure anti-virus products detect programs modified in this way because the added code resembles virus code closely, and also because several programs (including F-Secure anti-virus products) will not run after a modification like this.

The added code can be removed by TNT itself.
