Why we think so
0 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this encrypted backup database, including all 18 major antivirus engines. Our static analysis found no risky patterns, and no malware database lists it. It appears to be an ordinary encrypted messaging-app backup, not a program.
The file is an encrypted database backup of about 9 KB, the kind of data file a messaging app creates for chat settings. None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, and all 18 major antivirus engines that analysed it reported nothing. Our static analysis completed without any rule firing, and reference and malware-sharing databases hold no entry for it. No observation from the test run exists, but this is a data file that cannot run on its own. Its rarity is expected for a personal backup.
What We Detected
None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this encrypted backup file, and all 18 major antivirus engines that analysed it returned no detection. Our static analysis found no suspicious patterns, and no malware database or community rule set lists it.
Threat Behavior
This is an encrypted data file rather than a program, so it does not execute by itself. No sandbox run was recorded, and because the contents are encrypted they cannot be inspected directly. Nothing in the available evidence points to hostile content.
What To Do Now
If this is your own messaging-app backup, it can be kept or restored through the app that created it. Do not rename it to an executable type or open it with unrelated tools, and be cautious with similar files received from strangers.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- The file is encrypted, so neither the engines nor our static analysis can inspect its contents; it is new and seen from only one submitter.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- No detections from any of the 75 antivirus engines, including every major antivirus engine that analysed it
- Our static analysis found no risky patterns
- Not listed in any malware-sharing or community rule database
- Encrypted data file, not an executable program
