The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

39 engines flag the sample, including 14 major detections with a strong win32 family consensus on Jalapeno/VMProtect variants. The file is unsigned, and has no benign history or data from the test run to contradict the detections.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • No sandbox execution data, no contacted hosts, and no files it created available to confirm runtime malice — verdict relies entirely on static engine consensus.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Threat context

How trojans work

A trojan pretends to be something useful or harmless so that you run it. Once open, it does its real job in the background, from stealing data to opening a back door or downloading more malware.

Bottom line:The disguise is the whole trick, so a trustworthy-looking name or icon means nothing.
