Verdict Safe
Is save.
Zero detections across 62 engines on a data file with no sandbox or external-intel hits.
Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.
Open or store the file normally; no further action required unless the parent program that created it is itself suspicious.

Why we think so
0 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
All 62 antivirus engines that checked it returned clean results with no major or less reliable malicious flags. The file shows no sandbox behaviour, no contacted malicious hosts, and no YARA or CIRCL matches. Its age and single-submission history align with a benign user data file.
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 but long known prevalence classification further supports that this is an old, low-distribution benign file rather than an undetected threat.
What We Detected
62 engines scanned the file; none returned malicious, suspicious, or test-file labels. No major antivirus engines raised any flag.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox execution data, no files it created, and no contacted hosts in our malicious cache. External intelligence sources (YARAify, CIRCL) returned zero matches.
What To Do Now
The file can be treated as safe for normal use. If it originates from an untrusted source, scan the parent application or archive that produced it.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- Unsigned status and rare but long known classification leave open the theoretical possibility of a low-prevalence custom data file that simply never reached enough engines for detection, though zero detections across 62 reporters makes this unlikely.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Zero malicious detections across all engine tiers
- No external intelligence matches
- Long age with no reputation issues
