Summary

There is no virus known to F-Secure anti-virus products by this name. However, there is a well-known false positive on 'Readiosys' by Intels and Trends antivirus products on some boot sectors - usually these boot sectors have been slightly corrupted by Anticmos virus but are not actually infected.

If F-Secure anti-virus products don't complain about 'Radiosys-infected' boot sectors, ignore the warning and get an update to your Intel/Trend scanner. You can 'fix' the boot sectors and get rid of the false alarm by running F-Secure's FIXBOOT to the floppy.

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.
