Rapi is a Word macro virus consisting of several macros: AUTOOPEN, RPAE, RPFS, RPFSA, RPFO, RPTC, RPTM, RPAO, FILESAVE, RPFS, FILESAVEAS, FILEOPEN, TOOLSCUSTOMIZE, TOOLSMACRO.
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.
Rapi can generate different forms of itself, se all of the above macros are not necessarily always present in infected files.
Rapi hooks the Tools/Macro and Tools/Customize menus. If they are accessed, the virus spreads further and displays a messagebox like this:
Err@#*(C) Fail on step 29296 OK
Sometimes the virus also activates when File/Open menu is accessed. At this time it can display a messagebox like this:
@Rapi.Kom Thank's for joining with us ! OK
Sometimes the virus drop a text file called C:\BACALAH.TXT. This file contains this text:
Assalamualaikum . . ., maaf @Rapi.Kom . . .
Rapi might be related to the CAP virus. Rapi has been reported to be in the wild internationally.
