-
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.

Exclude a file from further scanning

Note: You need administrative rights to change the settings.
Technical Details
When a file infected with Virus.Win32.Bi.a is executed, it searches for PE and ELF files from the virus' current folder and tries to infect them. If the file is a Windows (PE) file, the virus inserts itself into the last PE section. If the file is an ELF file, the virus body is inserted after the ELF header. After the virus finishes the search, it executes the original code of the file. Infected files includes the following text inside the virus code:
