Threat description
Details
This is a direct action infector of Windows executables.
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.
When an infected file is executed, the virus takes control, searches for Windows .EXE files in current directory and writes itself to the end of the file.
While spreading, the virus generates a copy of every infected file, with an EVE extension. For example, a directory with infected PROGRAM.EXE will also have PROGRAM.EVE.
The virus has a trigger routine that just beeps by PC speaker when virus takes control.
Virus contains these texts:
MURKRY/IkX CEREBRUS The three head guardian, is in your computer, fear no more
This virus is written by the IKX group.
