Aliases :

There are no other names known for W32/malware.

Explanation :

W32/malware is a heuristic detection of something that is possibly malicious software. It is detected by one of the scanning engines in F-Secure Internet Security 2007, F-Secure Client Security 7, and our Online Scanner.

If such a detection occurs, you should first make sure that your F-Secure software is completely up-to-date with the latest detection database. If your updates are outdated, the scanning engine may have detected something that has recently been added to the definition files.

cription

W32/malware is a warning of an application file with suspicious code inside. When a file is suspected it means that the heuristic scanner found virus-like or trojan-like activity in the analyzed file.

It is possible that a heuristic scanning engine can produce false alarms.

We appreciate samples of suspected malware as well as suspected false alarms to our sample submission address:
