Summary
This is a simple virus which tries to disable existing antivirus software before spreading itself.
Removal
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.
Technical Details
The virus corrupts some C, PAS, TXT, ME, DOC, BAK and ASM files by writing this poem to the beginning of them:
To Karen In the realm of a greek deity, I dreamt of you. A weird reverie, Typewriters were like clouds, high in the sky, The floor was made of paper, Pencils stood for trees, A light bulb, low on the horizon, made a perfect sunset. And it rained words ... Then you came, more beautiful than ever, The only one real in my cyberspace. I felt like holding you im my arms, touching your hair, Telling you how much I loved you, How much I wanted to lose myself in your pretty brown eyes. I was almost in heaven. Suddenly it was pitch dark, The greek god had turned off the PC. It said: 'Buddy you're just a damned cyberpunk whose only friends are NPCs.' I opened my eyes, it was dawning outside. You weren't there. I miss you. I really miss you. Zyx From the slums of Beverly Hills.
The virus also contains the text strings:
