Why we think so
0 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
All 70 antivirus engines that checked it returned clean results, including 17 major antivirus engines. The file is signed by Adobe Inc. and has been submitted by 112 sources over 226 days with no malicious behaviour observed.
Zero malicious detections across the entire engine set, including 17 major antivirus engines that explicitly marked the file clean, eliminates any engine-based threat signal. The verified Adobe signature and trusted-publisher match provide strong authenticity evidence. The file's prevalence classification as widely seen and long established with 112 unique sources and 142 submissions over 226 days indicates legitimate, widely distributed software rather than a new or rare threat. Behavioural analysis shows no offensive MITRE techniques, no malicious sandbox verdicts, and no malicious network or dropped-file activity. Community comment tags referencing malware families are researcher annotations only and lack any corroborating engine or sandbox evidence.
What We Detected
74 antivirus engines scanned the file; none flagged it malicious. 17 major antivirus engines explicitly returned clean verdicts. The executable carries a valid, verified code-signing certificate issued to Adobe Inc., a trusted publisher on our curated list.
Threat Behavior
No offensive MITRE techniques were observed. Sandbox execution recorded only three techniques common in legitimate software typical of normal software. No complete contacted-host reputation result was available.
What To Do Now
The file can be considered safe for normal use. Continue to obtain Adobe software only from official sources and keep security software updated.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- Community comment tags reference 'akira' and 'cobalt-strike', but these are researcher annotations without engine or sandbox corroboration.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Adobe Inc. trusted publisher signature
