NiceHello is an email worm which uses MSN Messenger contact list to collect email addresses. The worm steals the user's MSN personal login information and sends it to a predefined email address to the virus writer.
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 detection database 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.

When the worm is run on a clean computer it copies itself to one of the following directories according to Windows version:
'c:\windows\system' 'c:\winnt\system32'
This copy of the worm is then added to the registry as
'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\System 64 Driver for Games'
so the worm will be run when Windows starts.
