Is (unnamed file) safe?
No antivirus engine detected a threat in this small MIDI file, although its recent appearance and lack of runtime evidence modestly limit certainty.
All 74 antivirus engines were free of malicious or suspicious detections, including 17 tier-1 engines. The file is a 20,930-byte MIDI item rather than an executable, and external research sources supplied no threat match; however, it is newly observed and has no completed runtime analysis.

Before opening
Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
If you already opened it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 74 antivirus engines were free of malicious or suspicious detections, including 17 tier-1 engines. The file is a 20,930-byte MIDI item rather than an executable, and external research sources supplied no threat match; however, it is newly observed and has no completed runtime analysis.
The strongest evidence is the complete absence of detections across 74 antivirus engines, with all 17 participating tier-1 engines reporting no detection. Its identified format is MIDI, for which executable code signing is not applicable. No matching malware record or researcher YARA rule was returned by the available external intelligence checks. The sample is newly observed and has only one submission, so it lacks a mature reputation history. No sandbox run was completed, and no complete contacted-host reputation result is available, which limits behavioral assurance without creating evidence of harm.
What We Detected
The 20,930-byte sample was identified as a MIDI file. None of 74 antivirus engines reported it as malicious or suspicious, and 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection. Available external intelligence checks returned no matching malware record or YARA rule.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so runtime behavior cannot be characterized. The contacted-host reputation check was also unavailable, and therefore no conclusion about network activity can be drawn. No malicious child file was reported.
What To Do Now
The evidence supports ordinary handling as a media file, but its source should still be considered because it is newly observed. Keep endpoint protection enabled and open it only with an updated, trusted MIDI player, especially if it arrived unexpectedly.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- prevalence.classification=rare_new and file.ageDays=0 mean the sample has almost no established reputation.
- behaviour=null and contactedHosts=null leave runtime activity and contacted-host reputation unassessed.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/74 antivirus engines reported malicious or suspicious detections
- 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection
- MIDI format does not require code signing
- No MalwareBazaar record or YARAify rule matched
- No brand mismatch or heuristic rule was triggered
- First observed today with only one recorded submission
- No completed runtime observation
- No complete contacted-host reputation assessment
Keep endpoint protection enabled and use an updated, trusted MIDI player. If the file came from an unexpected or untrusted source, verify the sender before opening it.

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.

What to do now
This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.
- Recovery step 01
Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
- Recovery step 02
A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.
- Recovery step 03
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.
