Verdict Suspicious
Is Loopko cheap4 jer. jar safe? Treat it as suspicious.
None of the 53 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this Java archive, but the sandbox results conflict and the file is rare and first seen on Oct 23, 2026.
Read the whole reasonShow less
Why Suspicious? One sandbox test run rated it malicious while another found nothing; nothing else confirms it.
Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.
If it came from a link, an attachment or a stranger, delete it.
What to do now5 steps
Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.
What to do
Don't open or run it unless you're sure where it came from.
Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.
If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.
It is only 2 days old. If you're unsure, scan it again in a few days; antivirus engines often catch up on new files.
If you already opened or ran it
Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

Why we think so
3 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
The combined sandbox verdict, however, mixed a malware/trojan label with a clean result, and no behaviour we recorded confirms either outcome. The file was submitted by a single source and was first seen on Oct 23, 2026, so there is not enough evidence to call it safe or harmful.
Antivirus coverage is adequate, and none of the 53 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including 13 major antivirus engines that returned a clean result. The combined sandbox verdict mixed a malware/trojan label with a clean label. The only network contact was the analysis machine's own background traffic. The files the sample dropped did not show any known-malicious result. Because the file is rare, has no signature or other trust anchor, and the sandbox results disagree, the evidence is too thin for a confident call.
What We Detected
None of the 53 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this Java archive. The combined sandbox verdict carried both a malware/trojan label and a clean label. One source submitted the file, and it was first seen on Oct 23, 2026.
Threat Behavior
In the sandbox runs, the archive started Java and launched a second Java archive through the command prompt. It wrote only ordinary Java runtime files. No injection into another process was recorded, no persistence was observed, and the sample made no network contact of its own.
What To Do Now
Only run this file if you trust where it came from. If you are unsure, keep it unopened and rescan it later, after more engines have had time to analyse it.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- The sandbox label includes a malware/trojan result. Fresh Java archives are often missed by antivirus engines, so the clean engine results do not fully rule out a threat.
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 53 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file
- No injected process, persistence or own network contact was recorded
- No dropped file came back as known-malicious
- The combined sandbox verdict included a malware/trojan label
- The file is rare and was first seen on Oct 23, 2026, from a single submitter
- When it ran the archive launches a second Java archive

What the test run showed
What the file did on a test computer
Confirmed in the test run
Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).
Moderate concern: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.
Moderate concern: Hid files or windows on the test computer.
Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.
Note: Loaded extra code modules while running.
Note: Checked which security software was installed on the test computer.
Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as downloading a file, but no download was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; nothing confirms it.
This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

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.

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.
