OVERVIEW
This is the Trend Micro heuristic detection for suspicious files that manifest similar behavior and characteristics as the following malware:
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 Web site 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.

NOTES:
Submitting Samples
If you identified suspicious files, you may submit them to us. Sample files for submission must be in ZIP format and should be password-protected. To submit a ZIP file, file compression software such as Winzip must be used. A trial version of Winzip is available here.
To compress a file, please follow the steps below:
- Right-click on the file and select Add to Zip.
- Enter a file name for the zip file.
- On the Options menu, choose Encrpyt. In the input box, type virus. This serves as the password for the zip file.
- Send the sample through the following channels:
