Verdict Safe
Is centiped3.

Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.
Nothing here justifies deleting the archive, but keep your antivirus enabled and scan the extracted files before running them. If it arrived unexpectedly, verify the sender first.

Why we think so
2 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This 7 KB ZIP archive, first seen on Dec 14, 2015, drew no detections from any of the engines that analysed it, including all 18 major ones, and it appears in no reference database or community rule set. Nothing hostile was found, though the packed contents themselves were never opened and examined.
The file is a small ZIP archive first seen on Dec 14, 2015. Every engine that analysed it — including all 18 of the major antivirus engines such as BitDefender, Kaspersky, ESET, Microsoft and Fortinet — returned a clean result, giving zero detections out of 76 engines. Independent lookups came back empty: no entry in the reference databases we check, no MalwareBazaar listing, and no malware-specific community rule matched the hash. No behaviour rules fired and none of the file's text fields carried disguised or instruction-like content. The one real gap is that the archive was never unpacked for us, so the engine verdict covers the ZIP container rather than its contents, and no sandbox run recorded what would happen if it were extracted and run. With no detection, no intelligence hit and no hostile lead anywhere in the evidence, there is nothing to justify a warning.
What We Detected
The file is a ZIP archive of roughly 7 KB, first seen on Dec 14, 2015 and submitted 19 times from 3 different sources. Zero of the 66 antivirus engines that checked it in our network flagged it, and the 18 major antivirus engines (BitDefender, Kaspersky, ESET-NOD32, Microsoft, Fortinet, Avira, GData, DrWeb and others) all analysed it and returned nothing. No engine attached a family name, hacking tool label or potentially-unwanted label.
External and Reputation Checks
The hash is not listed in MalwareBazaar, has no known-good or known-malicious reference-database record, and matches no community YARA rule, malware-specific or otherwise. No prior verdicts on similar files exist for this hash, and there is no staff-reviewed feedback on it. There was no complete host-reputation result to draw on because the file produced no run-time network activity to check.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox execution is associated with this file, so its behaviour was not observed. Our own static inspection of the archive's contents was not available either — the engine results describe the ZIP container, not what is packed inside it. That gap is the only reason to treat the file with ordinary caution rather than as verified-clean content; it is not evidence of anything harmful.
What To Do Now
Nothing in the evidence calls for action beyond normal practice: keep your antivirus running and open the archive only if you were expecting it from a source you recognise. If it arrived unexpectedly in a message, confirm with the sender before extracting anything, and let your security software scan the extracted files before running them.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The archive's contents were never submitted to us, so nobody opened it and looked at what it holds; the engine result applies to the ZIP container, not to whatever is packed inside.
- No sandbox run was performed, so there is no observation of what the file does if extracted and executed.
- Only three sources have ever submitted this archive, so there is little independent confirmation of its history.
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 of the 66 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including all 18 major antivirus engines that analysed it.
- The hash has no record in any reference database we check and no MalwareBazaar listing.
- No community malware rule matched it and no behaviour rule fired during analysis.
- The file's history reaches back to Dec 14, 2015 without ever being linked to a threat report.
- The packed contents of the archive were never opened and inspected, so the clear result applies to the container rather than to the files inside it.
- The archive has only ever been submitted by three distinct sources, so its history is thinly documented.
