MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.

78%Confidence
High
Reasoning

The complete absence of detections from both tier-1 and low-trust engines, combined with no sandbox or network telemetry, indicates the file is benign. Its rarity and embedded JS are common in legitimate bookmark exports or web pages. No adversarial filename patterns, brand mismatches, or external-intel hits exist to raise suspicion.

Key signals · 4

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

Points in its favour
  • Zero malicious detections across 61 reporting engines
  • 17 tier-1 engines explicitly marked clean
  • No sandbox, network, or child-file telemetry
Recommended action

Safety FAQ

Common questions about bookmarks_v2_1.html, answered from the scan data above.

  • bookmarks_v2_1.html appears safe. 74 of 74 antivirus engines report it clean. As a habit, only open files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.
  • bookmarks_v2_1.html is a file, about 55 KB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
  • None — all 74 antivirus engines we queried report bookmarks_v2_1.html as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.
  • The SHA-256 hash of bookmarks_v2_1.html is 5f089f6eea30039da289e01e3f9db0057b4db2f4eb56a3493ca011660c8e6177, and its MD5 is e8e438a9969d2cd6cce7b57115afc16a. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
  • Based on this scan, yes — bookmarks_v2_1.html shows no threat indicators. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it while we report it clean, that is most often a false positive, but verify the source before overriding your antivirus.
  • This report reflects the scan run on July 15, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of bookmarks_v2_1.html is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
