Summary

Command runs hidden from the user and displays branded pop-up advertisements. No license terms or privacy policy exists for Command. The software also connects to internet servers to receive updates and other data.

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

Command is an adware that displays pop-up advertisements. Pop-ups are branded both in the title bar, and with an image inside the pop-up. Command can be installed without a user's consent or interaction (silently installed).

To prevent detection and manual removal, the software installs into hidden folders with random names. The software is run as a service.

Mirror Image Internet web servers are contacted by Command to check for updates and while browsing the web. The obtained encrypted information is sent back and forth and most likely contains information about visited websites, in order to deliver targeted advertisement.

The program connects to the same server as Instafinder.
