Is SecurityTest_VBS.vbs safe?
No antivirus engine detected this tiny VBS sample, although its recent appearance and lack of runtime observation warrant ordinary caution before execution.
None of 75 antivirus engines flagged the file, and 17 high-trust engines reported no detection. Available external intelligence also produced no hit, but the script is newly observed and has no completed sandbox run or complete contacted-host check.

Before running
Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
If you already ran it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
None of 75 antivirus engines flagged the file, and 17 high-trust engines reported no detection. Available external intelligence also produced no hit, but the script is newly observed and has no completed sandbox run or complete contacted-host check.
The strongest evidence is the complete absence of detections across 75 antivirus engines, including 17 high-trust engines. Available MalwareBazaar and CIRCL checks did not identify the hash, and no established threat family is named. Five prior file-type matches also received clean assessments, though those broad matches are weak corroboration rather than identity-level evidence. The sample is only 239 bytes but is newly observed, so prevalence does not yet establish trust. No completed runtime observation or complete host-reputation result is available, which limits confidence in what the script may do when launched.
What We Detected
None of 75 antivirus engines flagged the file, and 17 high-trust engines reported no detection. Microsoft, Kaspersky, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, and Avast were among the engines that left it undetected. Available MalwareBazaar and CIRCL intelligence checks produced no matching record, while the YARA-based check timed out.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox run is available, so the script's runtime actions were not observed. The tags run-file and create-ole describe potentially relevant script capabilities, but they do not establish harmful activity by themselves. No complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
What To Do Now
Keep endpoint protection enabled. If the file came from an unexpected source, inspect its short script contents or run it only in an isolated test environment before allowing it on a production system.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- behaviour=null, so the 239-byte script has not been observed executing in a completed sandbox.
- contactedHosts=null, meaning no complete host-reputation cross-check is available.
- externalIntel.availability.yaraify='error', leaving a gap in researcher-rule coverage.
- The tags run-file and create-ole indicate script capabilities that merit caution despite the absence of detections.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/75 antivirus engines detected malware
- 17 high-trust engines reported no detection
- No MalwareBazaar hash match
- No CIRCL hash match
- 5/5 broad file-type precedents received clean assessments
- Newly observed sample with only 1 submission
- No completed sandbox execution
- No complete contacted-host reputation cross-check
- YARA-based external-intelligence lookup timed out
- Script tags include run-file and create-ole
Keep endpoint protection enabled and avoid launching the script if its source is unexpected. For higher assurance, inspect the 239-byte contents or test it in an isolated environment.

What to do now
This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.
- Recovery step 01
Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
- Recovery step 02
A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.
- Recovery step 03
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.
