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.

45%Confidence
Moderate
Reasoning

Zero malicious flags from tier-1 and tier-2 engines combined with an unsigned portable archive and no sandbox or external-intel signals produce a clean profile. However, the file is only four days old with a single submission, so coverage is too low to confidently classify it as safe. The absence of any triggered heuristics or RAG matches further prevents a stronger verdict.

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.

  1. engines.malicious=0 with tier1Malicious=0 across 64 reporting engines

  2. prevalence.classification=rare_new and file.ageDays=4

  3. signing.signed=false with signerStats.found=false

  4. filenameAnalysis.looksLikePortable=true with no adversarialInputFlags triggered

Points in its favour
  • zero malicious detections from 64 engines
  • no adversarial filename or brand-mismatch signals
Points against
  • rare_new prevalence with single submission
  • unsigned archive
Recommended action

Treat the archive as unverified; do not open extracted files until additional reputation data or a trusted source confirms safety.

What to do now

There isn't enough information to give this file a clear rating.

  1. Be cautious — an unknown rating is not the same as a clean bill of health.

  2. Only run it if it came directly from the official maker of the software.

  3. When in doubt, don't open it — or scan it again later once it's more widely seen.

How widely this file has been seen

Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. This is the footprint of targeted malware the AV industry hasn't signatured yet — extra scrutiny is warranted.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about aria sparkles.zip, answered from the scan data above.

  • We can't give aria sparkles.zip a confident verdict yet — too few engines have an opinion on this exact file. Uncommon or brand-new files often show little coverage before vendors catch up, so treat it as untrusted: don't opened or extracted it unless you're certain of the source.
  • aria sparkles.zip is a compressed archive (application/x-zip-compressed), about 10 KB. We identify a file by its cryptographic hash rather than its name, because the same filename can be reused by completely different files — the hash below is the reliable fingerprint.
  • None — all 74 antivirus engines we queried report aria sparkles.zip 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 aria sparkles.zip is 73192990d1b2509c00b1a61850b08018f5000fcde3aac312f229173ad12bf9af, and its MD5 is 43d58a09c52d1c4cdef6422786cc0a09. 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.
  • This report reflects the scan run on July 3, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of aria sparkles.zip 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.
