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.
Intelligence
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.
All 75 engines returned clean results with no tier-1 detections. The file has been observed since 2015 with medium prevalence and no malicious behaviour in the single sandbox run.
Zero malicious detections from 75 reporting engines, including 16 tier-1 engines, indicates the file is not flagged by any major security vendor. The unsigned status is neutral given the long history and lack of any malicious indicators. Sandbox analysis showed only ambient techniques with no offensive MITRE activity or malicious verdict. External intelligence sources returned no hits, and the file's entropy and structure show no signs of packing or obfuscation.
What We Detected
75 antivirus engines scanned the file; none returned a malicious or suspicious result. The executable is unsigned and contains no code-signing certificate. Sandbox execution recorded five ambient behaviours and no offensive techniques.
Threat Behavior
No domains, IPs, or URLs were contacted. No malicious child processes or dropped files with known-bad hashes were observed. The file shows normal entropy levels and no packer signatures.
What To Do Now
The file can be considered safe for normal use. Keep endpoint protection enabled and continue monitoring for any unexpected behaviour.
- Zero detections across 75 engines
- No malicious sandbox verdict
- Medium prevalence since 2015
- No external intelligence hits
The file shows no malicious indicators and can be treated as safe; maintain normal security practices.
