None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this unsigned JSON editor executable, and the combined sandbox verdict was clean with no high-risk techniques recorded.
Read the whole reasonShow less
Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.
The file appears safe to use. Obtain it from the developer's official source and keep your security software enabled.
Good practice2 tips
We found nothing harmful in this file.
Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on.

Why we think so
2 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
The combined sandbox verdict was clean, and the file shows no packing. It is unsigned and rarely submitted, first seen on Oct 26, 2026, so download it only from the developer's own site.
No engine reported a detection, and all 18 major antivirus engines returned clean results. The combined sandbox verdict over three runs was clean, and no high-risk techniques or injected processes were recorded. The sandbox did not record the sample making any network connections. The antivirus analysis found no packer and normal code entropy. Against this, the file is unsigned and has been seen from only two sources, so there is no publisher history to vouch for it.
What We Detected
None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this 64-bit Windows executable, and all 18 major antivirus engines reported it clean. It does not match any public malware database or community malware rule. The antivirus analysis found no packer, and the code entropy is normal.
Threat Behavior
Three sandbox runs produced a combined clean verdict. They recorded only techniques common in legitimate software, with no injected processes, no persistence and no network contacts from the sample. The file is unsigned, was first seen on Oct 26, 2026 and has been submitted by only two sources.
What To Do Now
The evidence does not point to a threat. Because the program has no publisher signature and little history, download it from the developer's official page and keep your antivirus enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The file is unsigned and was submitted by only two sources, so there is no publisher or wide-distribution history to confirm where it came from.
- Fresh malware can go undetected by engines at first, and no host-reputation check of network activity is available.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including all 18 major antivirus engines.
- The combined sandbox verdict was clean, with no high-risk techniques recorded.
- No packing or unusual code entropy was found.
- There are no matches in public malware databases or community malware rules.
- The executable has no code signature.
- Few sources have submitted this file, and it was first seen on Oct 26, 2026.

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.
EvidenceT1055 (sandbox MITRE mapping)
Section entropy & packers
No high-entropy executable section or known packer signature was detected. Data and resource sections can still have high entropy without indicating packed code.
How widely this file has been seen
Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. That limits reputation evidence, but rarity alone is not proof of malware.
