File verdict·Decided by the MT AI Engine
Our call

Suspicious

MT AI Engine · our arbiter

The verdict, reasoned out.

Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.

65%Confidence
High
Reasoning

The file shows classic borderline traits: minimal engine coverage (only one tier-2 malicious label), unsigned status, and sandbox evidence of process injection plus direct-IP communication. Prevalence data indicates long-term distribution without widespread malicious reputation. No tier-1 engines or family consensus support a malicious call, yet the offensive MITRE techniques and heuristic triggers prevent a clean safe verdict.

Key signals · 5

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
  • Common-old prevalence (387 submissions)
  • No tier-1 malicious detections
  • No malicious dropped children
  • No malicious sandbox verdicts
Points against
  • Unsigned executable
  • Process injection (T1055) observed
  • Direct-IP contacts without DNS
  • Single adware label from tier-2 engine
What to do

Treat as suspicious pending further verification; do not execute on production systems without isolation.

  • ProcessInjectionhigh

    MITRE T1055 (Process Injection) observed — CreateRemoteThread / APC / reflective-DLL injection. The payload is being smuggled into a legitimate process to bypass AV hooks.

  • DirectIpC2medium

    Sample contacted 20 external IP address(es) and zero domains. Benign software virtually always uses DNS; no-DNS direct-IP C2 is a strong malware indicator because it bypasses reputation systems and dodges domain-based blocklists.

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.
