The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this file, including 17 major antivirus engines that reported it clean. In the sandbox it extracted standard graphics and text-rendering libraries, which is normal for a .NET desktop app, and it showed no high-risk techniques. It is unsigned, so the publisher cannot be confirmed.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The file is unsigned, so its author cannot be verified from a signature.
  • No complete reputation check of contacted hosts is available, although no network contacts by the sample were recorded.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
