The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The file shows only less reliable detections from DeepInstinct and MaxSecure with no major consensus or other malicious indicators. This matches the classic false-positive pattern for less reliable-only flagging on new rare files. Our analysis concludes it is safe.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • If the two less reliable engines are correct, the file could be malicious despite zero major coverage — but onlyLowTrustFlagging pattern and absence of any other signals make this unlikely per established FP heuristics.

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