The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Leading engines, including ESET, Kaspersky, and Avast, detect this as a generic Win64 trojan with evasion traits. Community YARA rules match debugger checks and TLS callbacks.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • 12 major antivirus engines reported clean (e.g., BitDefender, DrWeb, Fortinet) — could indicate rule-based false positives on ZIP installer structure.
  • Yaraify rules somewhat generic (TLS callbacks, Golang, RIPEMD160 used in legit software too); 'mht_inside_word' may not apply to ZIP.
  • No behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict or droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild — runtime unconfirmed.

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.
