Verdict Suspicious

Analyzed , 1 month ago

Is com.2manyrobots.Yate safe? Treat it as suspicious.

Three major antivirus engines flag a unwanted program label on a self-signed DMG with no established signer history.

Read the whole reasonShow less

Why Suspicious? 6 antivirus engines flag it; nothing else confirms it.

Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.

Don't open it until you know where it came from

Treat the DMG as untrusted; verify the source and consider an alternative, signed distribution from a known vendor before installation.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't open it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already opened it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

Not sure what to do?

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Six of the 59 antivirus engines that checked it flag the file, three of them major, all pointing to a PUA/OSX.TNT.A family. The DMG is self-signed by an unknown entity and shows direct-IP traffic, yet no malicious sandbox verdict or known-bad hosts were recorded.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • 11 major antivirus engines reported it clean and tier1Total=17 — majority of major antivirus engines did not flag the file.

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