Summary

Skulls.Q is a combination of several previous Skulls variants. Skulls.Q contains component files from Skulls.D and Skulls.N among other variants. Skulls.Q also drops SymbOS/Commwarrior.B and several Cabir variants on the phone and component files from SymbOS/Doomboot.A trojan. The Doomboot files are dropped into folder where they cannot affect the system, so even as the phone is infected with Skulls.Q it can still boot normally. Skulls.Q also contains bluetooth distribution component from SymbOS/Onehop.A, but the component is installed so that it does not start automatically and user cannot execute it.

Removal

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.
