Verdict Safe
Is lottylife. exe safe? Yes, no threats found.
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this unpacked GameMaker-style game executable, and the sandbox runs showed no high-risk techniques or named injection…
Read the whole reasonShow less
Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.
This file looks like a normal game executable. 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
1 point against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Activity in the test run fits an ordinary GameMaker game, with temporary game files and no high-risk behaviour. The file is unsigned, so its publisher cannot be verified.
Detection coverage is adequate: 71 engines analysed the file and none flagged it. The sandbox runs recorded only techniques common in legitimate software. Files written to a GameMaker temporary folder indicate a game built with that engine. The executable is not packed, and it has been submitted by 16 different sources over 54 days.
What We Detected
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this 64-bit Windows executable. The 18 major antivirus engines that analysed it, including Kaspersky, ESET and BitDefender, all reported it clean. It is unsigned and shows no signs of packing.
Threat Behavior
In the sandbox runs, the program launched itself and wrote temporary files to a GameMaker folder, which is typical of games built with that engine. No high-risk techniques, persistence or injection into other processes were recorded. The only network contact was the analysis machine's own background traffic.
What To Do Now
The file appears to be an ordinary game. Because it is unsigned, download it only from the developer's official page, and keep your antivirus enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The file is unsigned, so no publisher identity backs it.
- No complete host-reputation result or external database lookup is available for this file.
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 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.
- No high-risk runtime techniques or injection targets were observed.
- The executable is not packed or obfuscated.
- Activity in the test run matches a GameMaker-built game.
- The executable is unsigned, so the publisher cannot be verified.

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.

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.
