Need some info on this virus: Heuristics.Reserved.Word.Exploit

[jharris89]

Hello,

I found this virus a couple weeks ago named Heuristics.Reserved.Word.Exploit, and of course deleted it, but I am itching to know what this virus does, where it's from, and the overall risk level if possible.

From what I've gathered from Google, I saw one forum that suggested something about a password stealer, which I assumed was a sort of keylogger? But since there was an insignificant amount of information to conclude what it was, I was entailed to ask the MB forums for further information on the virus.

This was what I had in my log:

Thank you for any feedback on this issue,

This is a heuristic meaning it could fit any # of files with that name.

Reserved word means nothing should be named svchost.exe and not be in the sysdir directory.

Without the file its hard to say what it was.
