MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.

92%Confidence
Very high
Reasoning

Zero malicious engine detections combined with the XML file type and lack of any behavioural or external-intel signals indicate the file is benign. The medium prevalence classification reflects a single submission rather than rarity of malicious content. No heuristics fired and no adversarial filename patterns were present.

Key signals · 3

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about MailStoreHome.exe.config, answered from the scan data above.

  • MailStoreHome.exe.config appears safe. 75 of 75 antivirus engines report it clean. As a habit, only open files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.
  • MailStoreHome.exe.config is a file, about 13 KB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
  • None — all 75 antivirus engines we queried report MailStoreHome.exe.config as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.
  • The SHA-256 hash of MailStoreHome.exe.config is 8c21028598a4d56be13202ce923d3329c112f99ba3ce8f48e5c0e45394c52e77, and its MD5 is 4495384a64f88c0ecab288c707376690. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
  • Based on this scan, yes — MailStoreHome.exe.config shows no threat indicators. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it while we report it clean, that is most often a false positive, but verify the source before overriding your antivirus.
  • This report reflects the scan run on July 17, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of MailStoreHome.exe.config is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
