Summary

Bublik malware (also known as Pkybot) steals information about the affected system and sends it to a remote server. It is also able to download additional malware.

Removal

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.

Technical Details

Bublik malware may be distributed as the payload of exploit kits or other malware.

Once present on the system, the malware will gather information about the system, such as details of the processor, operating system and/or any installed software. This information is then sent to a remote command and control (C&C) server under the attacker's control.

Bublik is also able to download and install other malware, most notably Trojan-Spy:W32/Zbot.
