This virus was first reported in the German AGIPLAN company, but then it disappeared for nearly two years, until a sample appeared in South Africa. This re-appearance is rather mysterious, as this sample was not a "natural" infection by the virus.
Structurally the virus is similar to the Zero Bug virus, as both add 1536 bytes to the beginning of the programs they infect. The virus will not have any serious effects until it has been active on an infected machine for several months, but then it will start corrupting write operations.
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.
