Is X-IBO-PRO.apk safe?

Verdict
Suspicious

Unsigned Android APK showing PUA detections plus direct-IP behaviour with no domain usage.

Four engines flag the file as PUP/riskware or adware; one tier-1 engine labels it Android Xgen PUA. Direct-IP contacts without DNS and lack of code signing keep the sample in the suspicious range despite its age and moderate prevalence.

Do not install it until verified

Treat as unwanted software; avoid installation and remove if present.

The reasoning behind this verdict

This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.

72%Confidence
High
Analyst conclusion

Four engines flag the file as PUP/riskware or adware; one tier-1 engine labels it Android Xgen PUA. Direct-IP contacts without DNS and lack of code signing keep the sample in the suspicious range despite its age and moderate prevalence.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • If the direct-IP behaviour is only connectivity checks (one URL is connectivitycheck.gstatic.com), the C2 heuristic may over-weight benign Android patterns.
  • common_old prevalence and 771-day age suggest the file has circulated without widespread malicious reclassification.

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

Recommended action

Treat as unwanted software; avoid installation and remove if present.

8 evidence-based answers
Is X-IBO-PRO.apk safe, or is it malware?
Evidence-based answer
X-IBO-PRO.apk is suspicious — treat it as unsafe until you're sure. 4 of 75 antivirus engines flag it; that detection signal contributes to the cautious verdict. Don't install it unless you fully trust where it came from. Get a fresh copy from Google Play or the developer's official store.
What is X-IBO-PRO.apk?
Evidence-based answer
X-IBO-PRO.apk is an Android app (APK), about 20.6 MB. We identify a file by its cryptographic hash rather than its name, because the same filename can be reused by completely different files — the hash below is the reliable fingerprint.
How many antivirus engines detected X-IBO-PRO.apk?
Evidence-based answer
4 of 75 antivirus engines flagged X-IBO-PRO.apk, 4 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence.
What should I do if I already installed X-IBO-PRO.apk?
Evidence-based answer
Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
How do I remove X-IBO-PRO.apk?
Evidence-based answer
To remove X-IBO-PRO.apk: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete this app from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
What kind of malware is X-IBO-PRO.apk?
Evidence-based answer
X-IBO-PRO.apk is classified as adware or a potentially unwanted program (PUA) — not always destructive, but it bundles ads, trackers, or unwanted changes you didn't ask for. Knowing the family matters because it tells you the likely impact — data theft, remote control, file encryption, or unwanted ads — and guides the cleanup.
What is the SHA-256 hash of X-IBO-PRO.apk?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of X-IBO-PRO.apk is 232892dd36a2d3873d0e6dc47f42fc87faf42a569ec30523dae6ef7a99be0768, and its MD5 is 9d43c43d14b6ae676f0985125a3ca916. 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.
How up to date is this analysis of X-IBO-PRO.apk?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on May 25, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of X-IBO-PRO.apk 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.
