Agent.REK drops and executes other malware applications on the infected system, thus compromising system security.
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.
Upon execution, Agent.REK drops and executes the following files:
Note: %System% represents a path that is typically C:\Windows\System32. Note: [Random Filename] represents a randomly generated filename used by the trojan at the time of infection, such as Oiv23.sys and Tqy10.sys. The dropped files are detected as Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.GLH and Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Agent.REK respectively. This Trojan creates the following registry entries as part of its installation:
Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.GLH then attempts to connect to the following IP addresses:
Files detected as Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Agent.slh have the same characteristics as Agent.REK.
