Why we think so
3 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 68 antivirus engines that checked it detected a threat, including all 17 major antivirus engines, and the executable carries a valid Input Sense Inc. signature. One sandbox run showed no offensive techniques, persistence, injection, dropped files, or known-bad contacts, although the file and signer lack an established history.
The strongest evidence is broad detection silence: none of the 68 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the executable, including all 17 major antivirus engines. Its Input Sense Inc. signature verifies correctly, though the publisher is not curated and has no recorded sample history. One completed sandbox run produced a clean result and showed no offensive techniques, process injection, persistence, file writes, or files it created. Reputation coverage included all three observed hosts and found none known to be malicious or suspicious; two domains and the sole IP were identified as analysis-environment background traffic. No malware-specific YARA rules, MalwareBazaar record, suspicious packing, brand mismatch, or hostile file it created provides contrary evidence. The main uncertainty is that this file was first observed on Oct 15, 2026, has only one submission, and has only one completed behavioral run.
What We Detected
None of the 68 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this executable, including all 17 major antivirus engines. The file is signed by Input Sense Inc., and the signature verifies correctly. No malware-family label, malware-specific YARA rule, MalwareBazaar record, suspicious packer, or brand mismatch was found.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run returned a clean result. It recorded no offensive techniques, injected processes, persistence indicators, written files, or files it created. All three observed hosts received reputation coverage and none was known to be malicious or suspicious; two domains and the sole IP were analysis-environment background contacts rather than sample activity.
What To Do Now
The evidence supports normal use if the file came from the expected publisher or an official distribution channel. Because it was first observed on Oct 15, 2026 and the signer has no established history in our records, keep security software enabled and verify the download source before execution on sensitive systems.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The file was first observed on Oct 15, 2026 and has only one submission, so its reputation is not yet established.
- The signer has no recorded sample history and is not on the curated trusted-publisher list, limiting the assurance supplied by the valid signature.
- Only one completed sandbox run is available, so behavior coverage is limited.
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 68 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including all 17 major antivirus engines.
- The Input Sense Inc. digital signature verifies correctly.
- The completed sandbox run found no offensive behavior, persistence, injection, file writes, or files it created.
- Reputation coverage for all observed hosts found none known to be malicious or suspicious.
- No suspicious packing, brand mismatch, or malware-specific external intelligence was found.
- The executable was first observed on Oct 15, 2026 and has only one recorded submission.
- The signing publisher has no established sample history in our records and is not on the curated trusted-publisher list.
- Behavioral evidence comes from only one completed sandbox run.
