Removal
Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it may block the file from running, move it to the quarantine where it cannot spread or cause harm, or ask you to select an action.
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.
Technical Details
Windows Movie Maker (also known as Live Movie Maker) is a free video editing program produced by Microsoft. The program was discontinued in January 2017 and removed from download.
Following its discontinuation, fake or modified copies of the free program were found being used to collect money from unsuspecting users. This is a variation of the same marketing scheme used to promote rogues.
'Trial version' scam
Application.Agent.CZQ identifies a modified version of the Movie Maker program, which has been altered to appear to be a "trial version". Users who install this program are told that they need to pay for an upgrade to a 'full version' that would provide them with more features. The user is repeatedly prompted to make the purchase.
