To a limited extent, F-Secure can detect security vulnerabilities of Windows settings. They are detected with the name "Windows". By selecting the option to remove them with F-Secure's product, the settings will be set to secure again.
Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it may block the file from running, move it to the quarantine where it cannot spread or cause harm, or ask you to select an action.
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.
Windows is the name for lowered security settings caused by an unknown or previous malware infection. It may be so that the malware infection was previously removed but left the lowered security settings behind. Removing or quarantining these means, in this case, restoring the settings to their defaults, in order to prevent more malware from entering the system. One example is when the option to install unsigned ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer has been set to enable, thus allowing dangerous or malicious third party ActiveX controls to be silently installed.
