Rizo is a family of IRC bot-based backdoors with network worm capabilities.
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.
Rizo malware can spread itself to remote computers with the help of an exploit. Unlike many other exploits that download a copy of malware from an already infected computer, Rizo's exploit downloads and runs a file from a website. Every time this website is accessed, a repacked variant is offered for download.
Rizo is a backdoor-worm that spreads within local networks and via the Internet. When it arrives on an infected computer it copies itself to the Windows System folder with the name ofwinlogin32.exe and creates several startup strings in the Registry:
Being active, the backdoor connects to the following IRC servers:
Then the malware joins an IRC channel named #!v21! using the password 'tn10a4' without quotes. The port for connection is 8008.
The Rizo backdoor-worm can do any of the following:
The URL above can be also used to upgrade the copy of the backdoor. At the moment the page contains only the text string 'EMPTY'.
The exploit in the backdoor's body is partially encrypted. When sent over to a target computer, the exploit decrypts itself (simple XOR 0x99 operation), resolves several APIs, downloads a file to the Windows System folder from the dl1.debelizombi.com website and runs it. The name of the downloaded file is a.exe.
