Why we think so
0 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
No antivirus engine flagged the file. It is a small, common configuration file referenced in the NSRL database and has been submitted by over 1,300 sources since 2020.
Zero malicious detections from 74 engines, including 17 major antivirus engines, combined with a widely seen and long established prevalence classification and an NSRL reference entry, indicate the file is benign. The file type is INI and the size is only 62 bytes, consistent with a configuration file rather than executable code. No sandbox data, signing data, or contacted-host information is available, but the absence of any positive malicious signals across multiple independent sources supports a safe determination.
What We Detected
74 engines scanned the 62-byte INI file named boot.config; none returned a malicious or suspicious result. The file has been submitted 1,509 times by 1,390 unique sources since April 2020 and appears in the NSRL reference database under the product name 'War Robots Multiplayer Battles'.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox execution data is present. The file contains no executable code, has no code-signing information, and triggered no heuristics. No domains, IPs, or files it created were observed.
What To Do Now
The file can be considered safe for normal use. Keep security software enabled as a general practice.
- Zero detections across 74 engines
- Long-established prevalence (widely seen and long established)
- NSRL reference entry present
