Danom viruses are proof-of-concept viruses for Microsoft Command Shell codename Monad. They do infect other Monad scripts, although there is also a cross infecter for .MSH, .BAT and .CMD files.
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.
Variant:Danom.B
Danom.B virus infected .msh, .cmd and .bat files. If the infection marker "Candela" is not found, the virus infects by prepending its code. However .bat and .cmd infected files overwrite during infection.
Variant:Danom.A
This virus searches for .msh files and if such are found it looks for an infection marker "Candela". If the last is not present in the file, the virus appends its code to the victim file.
Variant:Danom.D
This is a small code written to overwrite .msh files with itself. It searches for such files and checks for the length. It tries to infect if the file size is different from the size of the initial infected file. However due to an error the virus infects one file per run. It infects the last file in alphabetical order, unless it is already infected.
Variant:Danom.E
This is similar to Danom.A but it prepends the virus code to the victim files.
