Yawn is an Excel macro virus.
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.
Yawn.A virus consists of 2 modules. The class module 'Class 1' contains a small code that opens Personal.xls from Excel startup directory.
The other module has a random name. This part of the code disables the built-in macro virus protection when a workbook is opened. If the virus was not run from PERSONAL.XLS, it creates this file in Excel Startup directory generating a random module name.
To replicate the virus also export its code in a file 't' in Excel Startup foder.
The virus tries to delete several menus. As an infection marker Yawn.A uses the following commented text in its code:
