  OVERVIEW


This is the Trend Micro Virtual Analyzer detection for possibly malicious files. It is a heuristic detection based on well-established characteristics inherent to malware that drop additional files or malware. To keep customers a step ahead from possible dropper malware infections, all files found in the system that match established characteristics are immediately detected.

If your Trend Micro Virtual Analyzer detects a file under this detection name, do not execute the file. Delete it immediately especially if it came from an untrusted or an unknown source (e.g., a website of doubtful nature).

However, if you have reason to believe that the detected file is non-malicious, you can submit a sample for analysis. Detailed analysis will be done on submitted samples, and corresponding removal instructions will be provided, if necessary.
