Removal
Download F-Secure Mobile Security and activate it
Scan the phone and remove any components of the malware
Reboot the phone to remove memory resident components
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
Beselo worms spread via Bluetooth and MMS as Symbian SIS installation files.
The installation file is not labeled with the .SIS extension. The SIS file is named with MP3, JPG, or RM extensions in order to trick the recipient into thinking that it is multimedia file.
If the phone user attempts to open the file, Symbian will recognize it as an installation file and will start the application installer.
Please see the following variant descriptions for additional details:
Additional Notes:
Variants Beselo.C, Beselo.D and Beselo.E are closely related to Beselo.B.
