Summary

SuspectBehavior_FileDeleted is a heuristic detection of a file or program that behaves in a suspicious or potentially harmful manner.

Removal

Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it may block the file from running, move it 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.

Technical Details

SuspectBehavior_FileDeleted is a heuristic detection of a file or program that performs actions which may potentially delete or otherwise destroy files (.exe, .dll, .ini, .txt, .com) from the following folders:

  • "program files"
  • Windows
  • System32
  • Desktop
  • Windows\command

This behavior is commonly seen in harmful programs. As such, the file or program has been blocked as a precautionary measure.
