What to do now4 steps

This file is harmful. Don't run it, and remove it.

If you haven't run it

  1. Don't run this file. Delete it, then empty the Recycle Bin.

If you already ran it

  1. Disconnect the device from the internet, then run a full antivirus scan. Microsoft Defender Offline (Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options) also finds malware that hides while Windows runs.

  2. If you typed passwords on the device after running it, change them from another device you trust.

  3. If the scan keeps finding it, or the device still acts strangely, scan again with a second-opinion scanner from another company; if that doesn't fix it, back up your personal files and reinstall Windows.

If you already ran it, do these in order.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The combined sandbox verdict reported malware without a clean run recorded, and 4 of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it independently flagged the executable. Confidence is moderated because no major antivirus engines detected it, the labels are generic, and its 963-source prevalence plus lack of hard high-risk artefacts leave a meaningful false-positive possibility.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it' results included a detection from a major antivirus engine, and the four detections did not agree on a real malware family.
  • The file has been submitted by 963 distinct sources, which is atypical of a narrowly distributed fresh threat.
  • No named injection target, malicious contacted host, malicious file it created, malware-specific community rule, or public malware-database entry corroborated the sandbox label.

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

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).

  • Moderate concern: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.

  • Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.

  • Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.

  • Note: Deleted files or logs during the test run (installers often clean up after themselves).

  • Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.

  • Note: Looked through folders on the test computer (most installers do this).

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as contacting a server, but no contacted host was recorded.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

Threat context

How trojans work

A trojan pretends to be something useful or harmless so that you run it. Once open, it does its real job in the background, 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.
