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

Once Virus:W32/Delf.BO has been executed, it will display a non-malicious file. Typically, office documents, text files, or log files. The clean file is dropped into the following folder:

  • %temp%\PrgStart

Virus:W32/Delf.BO drops the following malicious file component in the Windows directory:

  • reloc32.exe
  • svhst32.exe

It also drops the following files in the Windows System Directory:

  • updates.exe

Delf.BO modifies the default entry for the program used to open the clean file and executes itself upon opening the same file extension of the clean file.

Example for .TXT files:

  • HCR\txtfile\shell\open\command Original data: %sysdir%\NOTEPAD.EXE %1 New data: %sysdir%\notepd.exe "-v" "%1"

Along with adding or modifying registry entries for its autostart technique, it also adds the following entry in "%windir%\win.ini"
