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.

  • HTTP GET http://85.255.[Removed]/count.php?u=346&e=521&r=1

It searches for a process named teatimer.exe. It will attempt to terminate the process if discovered.The malware uses a mutex named STDP117.To ensure that the malware starts with Windows, it copies the malware file to:

  • C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu \Programs\Startup\msupd[number].exe

Note: [number] is random.The malware creates the following registry entries:

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PUID UID = 6727150054040000de564349 (Seems to be some kind of hash of the victim's computer.) UID2 = trojan.exe (Filename of the malware on execution.)
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PUID\set thPCvzSYyScLKSRaW3l3jquJRD382MNqz3P4yEfx = "mult" thPCvzSYyScLKSRaW3l3jquJRD382MNqzHb4yEfx = "mult"
