Summary

HLL is a family name - all parasitic viruses written in High Level Languages, such as Pascal, C, C++ or Basic, have been grouped under this name.

Removal

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.

Technical Details

There are several members, including the following viruses: HLL.3680, HLL.Pascal.3966, HLL.5150, HLL.5602.A, HLL.5602.B, HLL.Bobas, HLL.5938, HLL.Rna.7296, HLL.Rna.7408, HLL.Pascal.7808, HLL.Cookie.7360, HLL.Cookie.7392, HLL.Halloween, HLL.Antiline.

Members of the HLL family are rarely seen in the wild, but the chance of a false alarm is bigger than with viruses written in assembly language - this is because it is more difficult to find a distinct search string for these viruses.
