Verdict Suspicious

Analyzed , 36 minutes ago

Is Xeno-v1.3.65.exe safe? Treat it as suspicious.

Three malware-specific YARA matches, a failed signature, one detection from a major antivirus engine, and divided sandbox results outweigh the file's broad distribution and…

Read the whole reasonShow less

Why Suspicious? One antivirus engine (Dr.Web) flags it and a community rule for known malware matched it.

Moderate evidence · More than one sign points to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful.

Don't run it until you know where it came from

If it came from a link, an attachment or a stranger, delete it.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't run it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already ran it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

Not sure what to do?

Ask the MalwareTips community before you run it. If you already ran it, follow the cleanup guide.

MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

This executable carries several independent warning signs: three malware-specific YARA matches, a failed certificate chain, and a DrWeb trojan detection. Sandbox conclusions were divided rather than conclusive, while broad distribution and benign file it created references provide counterweight, so it should not be run outside an isolated research environment.

Where this verdict could be wrong5 caveats
  • Only 1 of the 52 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the executable, and several major engines that reported a result did not detect it.
  • The file was submitted by 3,654 distinct sources, indicating broad distribution.
  • Seven inspected files it created matched known-software reference entries, and none of the inspected children was malicious or suspicious.
  • The sandbox evidence was divided: one combined label was malicious while another was clean.
  • The three prior safe files with the same import-table fingerprint had different or unverified publishers, so those matches provide only weak reassurance.

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

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • High concern: Encrypted files on the test computer, as ransomware does.

  • Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).

  • Moderate concern: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.

  • Moderate concern: Unpacked hidden content while it ran.

  • Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.

  • Note: Read the user name of the test computer.

  • Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as password-store access, but nothing touched the Windows password store.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as contacting a server, but no contacted host was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as setting up auto-start; no auto-start entry was recorded.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

What is Xeno-v1.3.65.exe?
Xeno-v1.3.65.exe is a Windows program, about 88.9 MB. Its version information says it is “New Electron UI for Xeno” (Xeno-v1.3.65). Version information is written by whoever built the file, so it is a claim, not proof of who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Oct 20, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected Xeno-v1.3.65.exe?
1 of the 52 antivirus engines that checked it flags Xeno-v1.3.65.exe (Dr.Web). We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.
What should I do if I already ran Xeno-v1.3.65.exe?
No infection is confirmed: the rating is a caution, not a malware finding. 1) Check where it came from. If you can't confirm the source, delete it. 2) Run a full scan with your security software. 3) If the scan finds something, follow its removal steps and change passwords you typed on the device since then.
Is Xeno-v1.3.65.exe digitally signed?
It carries a signature in the name of Rizve A that could not be verified. Malware sometimes copies or steals a company's signature, so this does not mean that company made it.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Xeno-v1.3.65.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of Xeno-v1.3.65.exe is 829c1e8861cadb5835fe968b98d06254254e6a4120250d9f5cf612d3f152c7a1, and its MD5 is a9f2c1d8645d1c9ef97fc01771815dd1. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
How up to date is this analysis of Xeno-v1.3.65.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Nov 7, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
