MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.

96%Confidence
Very high
Reasoning

Zero malicious or suspicious detections from 64 reporting engines, including strong tier-1 consensus on clean (Avast, BitDefender, ESET, Kaspersky, Microsoft). The file's age (over 10 years) and medium prevalence (28 submissions) without issues point to legitimate commodity software. Unsigned RAR with UPX PE is common for drivers but raises no flags here given universal clean scans and no triggered heuristics or external intel. Lack of runtime data is noted but outweighed by static evidence.

Key signals · 4

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about challengerprimegamingkeyboarddriver_us_ge_fr_ru_po_cz_v3.0.rar, answered from the scan data above.

  • challengerprimegamingkeyboarddriver_us_ge_fr_ru_po_cz_v3.0.rar appears safe. 76 of 76 antivirus engines report it clean. As a habit, only open files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.
  • challengerprimegamingkeyboarddriver_us_ge_fr_ru_po_cz_v3.0.rar is a compressed archive, about 13.5 MB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
  • None — all 76 antivirus engines we queried report challengerprimegamingkeyboarddriver_us_ge_fr_ru_po_cz_v3.0.rar as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.
  • The SHA-256 hash of challengerprimegamingkeyboarddriver_us_ge_fr_ru_po_cz_v3.0.rar is 0251c1869dafc59c86cc370e16b8821a972bf380b84135a867d9d607ff6b77c8, and its MD5 is 2da02c3a68b4fe9a3ebee8ff12878abe. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
  • Based on this scan, yes — challengerprimegamingkeyboarddriver_us_ge_fr_ru_po_cz_v3.0.rar shows no threat indicators. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it while we report it clean, that is most often a false positive, but verify the source before overriding your antivirus.
  • This report reflects the scan run on May 14, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of challengerprimegamingkeyboarddriver_us_ge_fr_ru_po_cz_v3.0.rar is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
