REMOVAL

   action
 * Suspect a file is incorrectly detected
   (a False Positive)?


AUTOMATIC ACTION

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.


SUSPECT A FILE IS INCORRECTLY DETECTED (A FALSE POSITIVE)?

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 detection
   database 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.
