Read the whole reasonShow less

Strong evidence · Two or more major antivirus engines agree.

Remove it unless you use it on purpose

Keep it only if you installed it on purpose for security testing. Otherwise delete it and run a full antivirus scan.

What to do now4 steps

This is a hacking tool. It is risky to keep and run, but finding it is not by itself a sign that the device is infected.

What to do

  1. Don't open or extract it unless you got it on purpose for security testing on systems you own. Delete the archive and any files you extracted from it, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash.

  2. If you didn't put it on the device yourself, delete it and run a full antivirus scan: something else may have brought it.

  3. Tools like this often come with cracked or pirated software. If it came that way, treat the whole download as unsafe and scan everything it installed.

If you already opened or extracted it

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

If you opened or installed it

Avoid banking and sign-ins on that device until it is clean. These free MalwareTips guides walk you through it.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Kaspersky and TrendMicro-HouseCall identify DriverLoader, while multiple other engines corroborate Yogi or driver-loading tooling; no completed sandbox run is available to clarify its runtime actions.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • Seven major antivirus engines did not flag the archive, including Avast, AVG, Avira, DrWeb, and F-Secure.
  • No community YARA rule matched and the hash is not listed in the MalwareBazaar malware database, so no researcher-rule or repository corroboration was found.
  • No dropped file is known to be malicious, although all 3 inspected children remain unclassified rather than confirmed benign.

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

Threat context

How hacking tools are used

Hacking tools are programs that can switch off security software, test passwords or attack other computers. Security professionals use them on purpose; criminals also bundle them with malware.

Bottom line:Keep it only if you installed it on purpose, and check how it got onto the device if you didn't.
