Verdict
Malicious

Five high-trust engines identify trojan-like content in this new RAR archive, reinforced by defense-impairment and anti-analysis behavior during execution.

Nine of 75 engines flagged this newly observed RAR archive, including five high-trust detections naming GenKryptik, Evo, and DLL-hijacking trojan patterns. Runtime analysis also observed T1562.001 defense impairment and anti-analysis activity, although its overall sandbox label was clean and the extracted children remain unclassified.

Do not open this file

Quarantine the archive and do not open it outside an isolated analysis environment. Keep security protection enabled and perform a full system scan if the archive or its extracted executable has already run.

Analyst conclusion

Nine of 75 engines flagged this newly observed RAR archive, including five high-trust detections naming GenKryptik, Evo, and DLL-hijacking trojan patterns. Runtime analysis also observed T1562.001 defense impairment and anti-analysis activity, although its overall sandbox label was clean and the extracted children remain unclassified.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • The sole completed sandbox labeled the run clean, so runtime analysis did not independently produce a malware verdict.
  • Eleven tier-1 engines reported no detection, including BitDefender, Microsoft, Fortinet, and Emsisoft.
  • droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false, although all five child verdicts are unknown and therefore do not establish that the extracted payloads are benign.
  • externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0 and externalIntel.malwareBazaar.hit=false provide no researcher or repository corroboration.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Recommended action

Quarantine the archive and do not open it outside an isolated analysis environment. Keep security protection enabled and perform a full system scan if the archive or its extracted executable has already run.

What this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

  • High concern: Attempted to impair or bypass security controls.

  • Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.

  • Moderate concern: Removed execution artefacts or logs, which can conceal activity.

  • Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.

  • Moderate concern: Checked the environment for virtualisation or analysis tools.

  • Note: Reads your Windows user-account details.

  • Note: Collects details about your system.

These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

Threat context

How trojans work

A trojan disguises itself as something useful or harmless to trick you into running it. Once open, it does its real job in the background — anything from stealing data to opening a back door or downloading more malware.

Bottom line:The disguise is the whole trick, so a trustworthy-looking name or icon means nothing.

What to do now

This file is dangerous. Treat it as harmful and remove it.

  1. Recovery step 01

    Don't open this file. Delete this file from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash.

  2. Recovery step 02

    If you already opened it, disconnect from the internet and start with a full antivirus scan or Microsoft Defender Offline scan. If compromise is suspected or the problem persists, use a reputable second-opinion scanner and follow incident-recovery or clean-reinstall guidance.

  3. Recovery step 03

    If you typed any passwords while it was open, change them from a device you trust.

  4. Recovery step 04

    Get a fresh copy from the original trusted source and verify its exact hash when possible.

Safety FAQ

Direct answers grounded in the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

8 evidence-based answers
Is this file malware?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — this file is malicious. Do not open it. Delete this file from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 9 of 75 antivirus engines flag it (family: GenKryptik). It behaves as a trojan — malware disguised as something harmless to trick you into running it. If you've already opened it, see the removal and recovery steps below.
What is this file?
Evidence-based answer
this file is a file, about 15.1 MB. Our analysis identifies it as malicious (family: GenKryptik) — a trojan — malware disguised as something harmless to trick you into running it. Because a file's name and icon can be faked, the safest way to identify it is by its cryptographic hash (below), not its filename.
How many antivirus engines detected this file?
Evidence-based answer
9 of 75 antivirus engines flagged this file, 9 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence. The malicious verdict comes from the complete saved evidence, not from this antivirus count by itself.
I already downloaded and opened this file — what should I do?
Evidence-based answer
Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
How do I remove this file?
Evidence-based answer
To remove this file: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete this file from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
What kind of malware is this file?
Evidence-based answer
this file is classified as a trojan — malware disguised as something harmless to trick you into running it. Engines attribute it to the GenKryptik family. Knowing the family matters because it tells you the likely impact — data theft, remote control, file encryption, or unwanted ads — and guides the cleanup.
What is the SHA-256 hash of this file?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of this file is 09550fde36cdbec5b660fbccf678b8d7a4e3c6816da6bda5a62b954035f39344, and its MD5 is f849231d023c278df09017427a8fa2e4. 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.
How up to date is this analysis of this file?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on October 5, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of this file 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.
