Threat description
There are no ActiveX viruses known to us at the moment. However, this is likely to change in the future.
There are some known and potentially dangerous OCX ActiveX applets out there, but no viruses.
One example is OCX.Exploder, an applet that shuts down Windows. This applet is no longer detected by FSAV since it can be used as an useful tool as well.
Depending on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either automatically delete, quarantine or rename the suspect file, or ask you for a desired action.
More information on the scanning and removal options available in your F-Secure product can be found in the Help Center.
You may also refer to the Knowledge Base on the F-Secure Community site for more information.
F-Secure customers can request support online via the Request support or the Chat forms on our Home - Global site.
