Why we think so
2 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
The sample is a 23-byte plain-text file, not an executable, and none of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it. No malware-specific rules or external intelligence matched it; runtime and contacted-host coverage were unavailable, but there is no static evidence of harmful content.
The file is identified as a 23-byte plain-text document with no executable structure. None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, including the major antivirus engines represented in the results. No malware-specific research rule, known sample record, suspicious filename feature, or fired rule-based supports a threat finding. Five prior file-type matches also received benign outcomes, although file-type similarity alone is broad evidence. The file is and lacks runtime coverage, but those limitations do not outweigh the consistently benign static evidence for this non-executable sample.
What We Detected
The sample is a 23-byte plain-text file. None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, and no malware family or suspicious rule was reported.
Threat Behavior
No completed observation from the test run is available, so no claims can be made about executed behavior. A complete contacted-host reputation check is also unavailable; however, the file format is non-executable and the static evidence contains no scripts, payload indicators, or malware-specific research matches.
What To Do Now
It can be handled as an ordinary text file. If it arrived unexpectedly, open it only in a standard text editor and avoid treating any embedded instructions or links as trusted solely because the file itself received no detections.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The file was submitted only once and first observed on Oct 12, 2026, so it has little reputation history.
- No completed observation from the test run or comprehensive contacted-host reputation result is available, although such coverage is generally less relevant to a plain-text 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 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.
- The sample is a non-executable, 23-byte plain-text file.
- No malware-specific research rules or external intelligence matched the hash.
- Five comparable text-file records received benign outcomes.
- The file is and has only one recorded submission.
- No observation from the test run or complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
