Removal
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
Cardtrap.A also installs Windows malware on the phone's memory card. The trojan is distributed in a malicious SIS file named 'Black_Symbian v0.10.sis '.
Execution
On installation, the trojan will replace the main executable of several third party applications by overwriting their main executable file.These programs must be reinstalled to repair the damage. The Cardtrap.A installs Windows worms Win32/Padobot.Z and Win32/Rays to the phone memory card. Win32/Rays is copied with name System.exe and has the same icon as a system folder in the memory card, so if the user is tries to read the card via a PC, he might accidentally execute Win32/Rays.Padobot.Z is copied along with an autorun file that points to the Padobot.Z executable, so that if the card is inserted into a PC using Windows, the autorun tries to execute Padobot.Z. We tried this feature with Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000, and could not get autorun to work. But the autorun feature might work with some Windows installations.
