Manzon is a fast infector of COM and EXE files, and is about 1414-1490 bytes in size. It was found from Sweden in May 1995, but is known to be in the wild internationally.
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.
Manzon has two layers of encryption, under which you can find the following text:
MANZON (c) Sgg1F5PZ.
The virus uses variable encryption, but can't be considered really polymorphic. It can be detected with a set of search strings.
Manzon is known to be in the wild in at least Sweden, UK and several countries in the central Europe.
The same author has written the Scitzo virus.
Manzon does not activate in any way.
