Safe
New unsigned RAR with only two low-trust engine flags and zero tier-1 or behavioral signals.
1690aa961200db0cd7…40273a4b8aThe reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
Only low-trust engines flagged the sample while all 17 tier-1 engines reported clean. No sandbox data, no dropped children, no contacted malicious hosts, and no external intelligence hits exist. The RAR is brand-new with a single submission and carries no heuristics or RAG history. Filename analysis does not indicate security software or research tooling. These factors together produce a high-confidence safe verdict with elevated false-positive likelihood.
The file shows only low-trust detections from DeepInstinct and MaxSecure with no tier-1 consensus or other malicious indicators. This matches the classic false-positive pattern for low-trust-only flagging on new rare files. Our analysis concludes it is safe.
What We Detected
Two low-trust engines (DeepInstinct, MaxSecure) returned generic malicious labels on the RAR archive. All tier-1 engines remained silent. No signing, no sandbox behavior, no network activity, and no external corroboration.
Threat Behavior
None observed. The archive contains no executable children or contacted hosts in our cache. Prevalence is limited to a single recent submission.
What To Do Now
The file can be treated as safe for normal use. If you have additional context or the extracted contents, re-submit for deeper analysis.
The strongest scan facts behind the verdict, preserved with their exact names and counts.
2 of 75 antivirus engines flagged the file, including DeepInstinct, MaxSecure.
The hash has been submitted 1 time from 1 source.
- Zero tier-1 malicious detections
- No sandbox or behavioral malice
- No external intelligence hits
Proceed with normal use; the low-trust-only pattern indicates a false positive.
What to do now
This file looks safe based on everything we checked.
This file is safe to use.
Good habit: only download files from the official website or an app store.
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.
2 detections across 75 engines
How widely this file has been seen
Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. 2 antivirus detections make that low prevalence materially relevant, but rarity alone is not proof of malware.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about polar_av_6.0.1.rar, answered from the scan data above.
- polar_av_6.0.1.rar appears safe. 73 of 75 antivirus engines report it clean, with only 2 low-confidence detections that read as false positives. 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.
- polar_av_6.0.1.rar is a compressed archive (application/x-compressed), about 886 KB. 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).
- 2 of 75 antivirus engines flagged polar_av_6.0.1.rar, 2 of them as outright malicious. A small number of detections can include false positives, so we weigh which engines flagged it and what else the file does, not just the raw count.
- The SHA-256 hash of polar_av_6.0.1.rar is 1690aa961200db0cd7956162472aaca9e27ccba3c0feaf1cc3eca640273a4b8a, and its MD5 is 316d76070da05612332758e87e83ad72. 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 — polar_av_6.0.1.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 June 7, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of polar_av_6.0.1.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.
