EksyPox.A is a utility program that offers a workaround to address a vulnerability found in devices running on Exynos 4 chip.
Once the scan is complete, the F-Secure security product will ask if you want to uninstall the file, move it to the quarantine or keep it installed on your device.
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.
EksyPox.A is a program that offers a workaround to address a vulnerability found in devices running on Exynos 4 chip. Among the affected devices are Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Camera, and a few other Samsung devices.
This vulnerability, if successfully exploited, could allow any application to gain root access on the affected devices. EksyPox.A provides a way to patch the security hole, but not without exploiting the vulnerability first. For further reading about the vulnerability, please refer to the article published by XDA Developers, "Dangerous Exynos 4 Security Hole Demoed and Plugged by Chainfire."
While hack-tools and similar apps may be legitimately used by the device's authorized user, they are classified by security programs as riskware because in the hands of unauthorized users, they can also be used to cause damage to the user's data or the device.
If you are confident that you are aware of the risks involved in using the program and consent to its use, you may choose to keep it installed on your device.
