Summary
A remote administration tool (RAT) that bypasses the security features of a program, computer or network to give unauthorized access or control to its user.
Removal
Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either move the file to the quarantine where it cannot spread or cause harm, or remove it.
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

- Offline keylogger
Installation
The server is usually installed in to following folders:
- %Program Files%
- %System%
- %Windir%
After the installation, Bifrose tries to locate a running web browser and inject code into it. The injected code is the actual backdoor. The backdoor starts to communicate with the server part using specially crafted HTTP queries. The server can instruct the backdoor to execute the following actions:
- Basic file operations (copy, delete, rename, find, execute)
- Download/upload files
- Process operations (list, kill)
- Registry operations (create/delete keys/values)
- Create screenshots of the desktop
Registry
During installation, the following registry key is created:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{1D04E0BB-B63D-8FA6-6553-5E619BB865DB} stubpath = "C:\Program Files\Bifrost\server.exe"
Where {1D04E0BB-B63D-8FA6-6553-5E619BB865DB}is always random.and the usual mutex name used is:
- Bif123 (user defined)
The backdoor also creates the following registry key for storing information:
- [HKLM\Software\Wget]
