Verdict Suspicious
Is Auto Res Changer. 1. 2. zip safe? Treat it as suspicious.
This ZIP archive holds a single unsigned Windows program; two of the 67 antivirus engines that checked it flag it with generic trojan labels, and it has almost no submission…
Read the whole reasonShow less
Why Suspicious? 2 antivirus engines flag it; nothing else confirms it.
Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.
Do not run the executable unless it came from the developer's official source. Scan the extracted program separately and keep your antivirus enabled.
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 extract 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 less than a day 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 extracted it
Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

Why we think so
4 points against it and 2 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
The archive contains one executable, a screen-resolution utility by name. Ikarus and Google flag it with generic labels, while 17 other major engines report nothing. It was first seen on Oct 25, 2026, from a single source, and no observation from the test run is available, so the evidence cannot settle whether it is safe.
Two of the 67 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this archive: Ikarus with a generic 'Krypt' trojan label and Google with an unnamed detection. No malware family is named, and most major engines report no detection. Our static analysis found one executable inside and no disguised, encrypted or otherwise hostile content. However, the file has only one submitter and no publisher history or reference-database entry to vouch for it. No sandbox run or contacted-host check is available, so its behaviour when run is unknown. Taken together, the signals are too thin and too mixed to call the file either safe or malicious.
What We Detected
This ZIP archive contains a single Windows executable. Two of the 67 antivirus engines that checked it flag it: Ikarus labels it a generic 'Krypt' trojan, and Google gives an unnamed detection. Seventeen other major engines report nothing. Our static analysis of the archive found no disguised file types, no password protection and none of our hostile-pattern rules matched.
Threat Behavior
No observation from the test run is available, so we cannot say what the program does when run. The file was first seen on Oct 25, 2026, has been submitted by only one source, and has no signer history, reference-database entry or matching public release to confirm where it came from.
What To Do Now
Only run the program if you obtained it from the developer's official page. If in doubt, upload the extracted executable for a separate scan, or wait until more evidence builds up.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- Only 2 of the 67 antivirus engines that checked it flag the archive, and both labels are generic with no named family, so these could be rule-based false positives on an uncommon utility.
- Our static analysis of the archive found no disguised entries, no encryption and no hostile patterns.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Most major engines, including Kaspersky, ESET and BitDefender, report no detection
- Our static analysis found no disguised, encrypted or hostile content in the archive
- Ikarus labels the archive a generic trojan
- A second engine also flags it
- Rarely submitted, with a single source since it was first seen on Oct 25, 2026
- Contains an executable with no publisher or reference-database record
