A program or technique that takes advantage of a vulnerability to remotely access or attack a program, computer or server.
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.
This malware is distributed as a malicious Microsoft Excel document attached to an email message. The malicious Excel file itself is detected with the Generic Detection Exploit.D-Encrypted.Gen.
The Excel file contains an embedded encrypted executable file. It also contains an embedded Flash (.swf) file maliciously modified to exploit a known vulnerability (CVE-2011-0609) in certain older, unpatched versions of Adobe Flash player.
The Flash file decrypts the embedded executable file (detected as Trojan.Agent.ARKJ), which is the real payload for this malware.
Once decrypted, the trojan attempts to connect to and download additional files from:
At the time of writing, the malware appears unable to find the target files.
