The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this small Python script, and our static analysis found no obfuscation, downloaders or other risky patterns. Public malware databases hold no entry for it. It is new and rarely seen, but nothing points to harmful intent.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • The file is with a single submitter and no observation from the test run, so a small script could still behave unexpectedly when run.

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

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is Strings.py safe?
We found nothing harmful in Strings.py. None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
What is Strings.py?
Strings.py is a Python script, about 2.7 kB. VirusTotal first saw it on Oct 22, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected Strings.py?
None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flag Strings.py. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Strings.py?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of Strings.py is 1d79eda74f763cffd277db1254b14ec71c723f189a031a93a1b0e3d4380cfa51, and its MD5 is 97ff6c24b891462c58125449bc4776f5. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to run Strings.py?
We found nothing harmful in Strings.py. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of Strings.py?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 22, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
