  OVERVIEW

This is a Trend Micro heuristic detection for suspicious Portable Document files (PDF) with embedded JavaScripts that may exploit vulnerabilities.

If your Trend Micro product 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.
