Safe
alsoft.ini is a benign configuration file with zero malicious detections across 61 engines and 5-year established prevalence.
37b67ff73aa4fdd271…d00ae21f5dThe 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.
alsoft.ini is a configuration file (INI format, 31 bytes) with zero detections across 61 reporting engines, including unanimous agreement from 17 high-trust vendors. The file's 5-year prevalence history (common_old classification) with 4,148 submissions demonstrates it is an established benign commodity. Sandbox analysis detected only ambient system-discovery techniques (scripting, protocol enumeration, system-info queries) — normal for configuration processing. No malicious contacted hosts, no dropped children, no external-intelligence corroboration of threats. Five independent FileScan.IO analyses independently returned NO_THREAT verdicts with 100% confidence, reinforcing the safety assessment.
Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.
tier1ReportedClean=17 (Avast, BitDefender, Kaspersky, Microsoft, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Emsisoft, F-Secure, GData, Ikarus, Avira, AVG, DrWeb all undetected)
prevalence.classification='common_old' with 4148 submissions across 2995 sources since 2021 — established benign distribution
File type INI (configuration), 31 bytes — non-executable, inherently low-risk
behaviour.offensiveCount=0; no malicious sandbox verdicts; no malicious contacted hosts
communityComments: 5/5 FileScan.IO analyses returned NO_THREAT with 100/100 confidence
- 17 tier-1 antivirus engines report clean (BitDefender, Kaspersky, Microsoft, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Emsisoft, F-Secure, GData, Ikarus, Avira, AVG, DrWeb, Avast)
- 4,148 submissions across 2,995 sources since 2021 — common_old prevalence classification
- Zero malicious sandbox verdicts; no C2 contact or dropped children
- 5 independent FileScan.IO analyses all returned NO_THREAT with 100/100 confidence
- INI configuration file format (non-executable, inherently low-risk)
This file is safe. No quarantine or removal is necessary. It is a benign configuration file with a 5-year clean history and universal agreement from leading antivirus vendors.
What this file did when executed
This file was detonated in 1 sandbox and its runtime behaviour was observed.
Adversary techniques mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
0 detections across 75 engines
How often this file shows up in the wild
Widely seen in the wild for a long time. High prior this is legitimate; isolated detections on common-old files are usually false positives.
