Desex is a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) trojan. It can perform a DoS attack on certain servers on Internet. The trojan can be hiddenly dropped to users' computers and then used to perform a DoS attack.
To get rid of the trojan it's enough to delete its file from an infected computer.
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.
The trojan is written in Visual C++ and its file is packed with UPX file compressor. The packed executable size is 6656 bytes, the unpacked length is 9216 bytes.
Desex trojan attacks the following 3 servers:
212.7.144.70 193.219.15.17 212.7.128.165
To attack these servers the trojan uses certain functions from WS2_32.DLL library:
WSAStartup htons inet_addr socket sendto WSACleanup
The trojan contains the following text strings:
