Overview

This is a virus detection. Viruses are programs that self-replicate recursively, meaning that infected systems spread the virus to other systems, which then propagate the virus further. While many viruses contain a destructive payload, it's quite common for viruses to do nothing more than spread from one system to another.

Characteristics

This is a detection for the packed file in the tgz format.  For further information on this detection, please see the full decription for the OSX/Leap at:

Removal

Use specified engine and DAT files for detection and removal. Delete any file which contains this detection.

Overwritten/deleted files must be restored from backup or reinstalled. Alternatively system restore can be used to restore deleted files.

AVERT recommends to users that they not trust seemingly familiar or safe file icons, particularly when received via P2P clients, IRC, email or other media where users can share files.
