A program containing problems that prevent it from functioning as the author intended.
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.
The Type designation 'Intended' was previously used by F-Secure to identify a program containing problems that prevent it from functioning as the author intended.
For example, if a virus is classified with the Intended prefix, it means that the virus in question can not survive in the real world; usually it has too many bugs.
With changes in the threat landscape today, programs previously identified as 'Intended' would now be identified as ' Virus', ' Trojan', ' Backdoor' or ' Application'.
The update in naming better clarifies the program's overall security profile in the current, more complex threat landscape.
