Well, of course it does not give a name - it does not match any of the
known variants.

There are several possibilities:

    1) Really a new variant.
    2) An old variant, perhaps corrupted by something, so the checksum
       does not match.
    3) Previously infected, but incorrectly disinfected.

However, without further information I really cannot say what is going
on.

You should not use this, unless you have actually defined some new
