Technical Details

The Type designation 'Intended' was previously used by F-Secure to identify a program containing problems that prevent it from functioning as the author intended.

For example, if a virus is classified with the Intended prefix, it means that the virus in question can not survive in the real world; usually it has too many bugs.

Update

With changes in the threat landscape today, programs previously identified as 'Intended' would now be identified as ' Virus', ' Trojan', ' Backdoor' or ' Application'.

The update in naming better clarifies the program's overall security profile in the current, more complex threat landscape.
