Safe
Zero detections across 62 engines on a 320-day-old unsigned data file with no sandbox or external-intel hits.
2f8e3ed93bcdc8d858…fc65bb7b7fThe verdict, reasoned out.
Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.
The complete lack of malicious detections from every engine tier, combined with zero external-intel hits and no behavioural data, indicates the file is not malware. Its unsigned status is expected for a generic .dat file and does not raise concern given the total absence of any threat signals. The rare_old prevalence classification further supports that this is an old, low-distribution benign file rather than an undetected threat.
Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.
engines: 0 malicious out of 76 total (tier1Malicious=0, lowTrustMalicious=0)
prevalence.classification=rare_old with ageDays=320 and uniqueSources=1
externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0 and externalIntel.circl.knownMalicious=null
signing.signed=false with no brandMismatch.detected
- Zero malicious detections across all engine tiers
- No external intelligence matches
- Long age with no reputation issues
Open or store the file normally; no further action required unless the parent program that created it is itself suspicious.
0 detections across 76 engines
How often this file shows up in the wild
Rarely uploaded, but has been around for a while. Often niche legitimate software or old internal tooling; not a strong malware signal on its own.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about save.dat, answered from the scan data above.
- save.dat appears safe. 76 of 76 antivirus engines report it clean. As a habit, only open files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.
- save.dat is a file, about 126 KB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
- None — all 76 antivirus engines we queried report save.dat as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.
- The SHA-256 hash of save.dat is 2f8e3ed93bcdc8d858c1c2da8d2685bceebcb0cb2425cdc9b72e0dfc65bb7b7f, and its MD5 is 648b60ad7d3707b49be72cb4d1c1efb0. 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.
- Based on this scan, yes — save.dat shows no threat indicators. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it while we report it clean, that is most often a false positive, but verify the source before overriding your antivirus.
- This report reflects the scan run on July 10, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of save.dat 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.
