Verdict Suspicious
Is keygen-
This password-protected archive contains software key generators flagged by 28 of the 64 antivirus engines that checked it, including several major antivirus engines, with labels…
Read the whole reasonShow less
Why Suspicious? 28 antivirus engines flag it; nothing else confirms it.
Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.
Do not open or run anything from this archive; delete it and keep your antivirus enabled. Obtain software through licensed official channels instead.
What to do now4 steps
Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.
What to do
Don't open or extract it unless you're sure where it came from.
Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.
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 or extracted it
Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.
Not sure what to do?

Why we think so
4 points against it and 2 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
28 of the 64 antivirus engines that checked it flag this archive, including major engines such as Symantec, Avira, BitDefender and Fortinet. Labels mix keygen riskware, unwanted-program and generic trojan detections. The sandbox runs launched the bundled key generators but recorded no malicious verdict or network activity. Cracking tools like this are a common carrier for hidden malware.
28 of the 64 antivirus engines that checked it detect the file, with 19 independent votes and several major antivirus engines among them. The labels do not agree on a real malware family: some call it keygen riskware or an unwanted program, others use generic trojan buckets. The sandbox runs show the archive being extracted with a password and two key-generator programs starting, but no named injection target, no sandbox malicious verdict and no contacted hosts were recorded. No public malware database or community rule lists this hash. The combination of broad detections and cracking-tool content makes it high risk even without a confirmed payload.
What We Detected
28 of the 64 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this ZIP archive, first seen on May 8, 2025. Detections include Symantec (Trojan.Gen.2), Avira and F-Secure (TR/AVI.Agent), BitDefender and related engines (an application variant label), Fortinet (Riskware/KeyGen), Sophos and DrWeb (adware). No single malware family is agreed on.
Threat Behavior
In the sandbox runs the archive was extracted using a password and two key-generator programs were launched, writing helper libraries and a music file to the temporary folder. No named process injection, persistence or network contact was recorded, and no host-reputation result is available.
What To Do Now
Do not run the contents. Software cracks and keygens are frequently bundled with malware and are illegal to use for unlicensed software. Delete the archive and run a full scan with your security software kept enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- Several major labels are keygen, riskware or adware categories, and the sandbox runs recorded no malicious verdict, no named injection target and no network contacts, so some detections may reflect the cracking-tool nature rather than a hidden payload.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Sandbox runs recorded no network contacts, persistence or named injection target
- No listing in public malware databases or malware-specific community rules
- 28 of the 64 antivirus engines that checked it flag the archive, including several major antivirus engines
- Labels include generic trojan detections from Symantec and Avira
- Contents are software key generators, a common malware carrier
- Archive is password-protected, which hides its contents from many scanners

What the test run showed
What the file did on a test computer
Confirmed in the test run
Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).
Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.
Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.
Note: Looked through folders on the test computer (most installers do this).
Note: Loaded extra code modules while running.
Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as contacting a server, but no contacted host was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as weakening security settings; no setting change was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; nothing confirms it.
This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

Signatures and behavior heuristics
Low-severity pattern matches — worth noting but not on their own cause for alarm.
VirusTotal's sandbox summary maps this run to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection), but no injected process of the sample's own was recorded (the analysis VM's own WMI adapter, crash handlers and Chrome updater are not counted). VirusTotal maps T1055 on about half of all files no engine flags, so the mapping alone is not evidence of injection.
