Before opening or extracting
Open or extract it only when its sender or download source has been independently verified.
If you already opened or extracted 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.
The file shows no malicious detections across 74 engines and has been submitted by 187 sources over three years. No sandbox, external-intel, or host-reputation signals indicate risk.
Zero malicious detections from 74 engines, including 17 tier-1 engines, combined with a common_old prevalence classification and no external-intel hits, strongly supports a benign determination. The absence of sandbox results and incomplete host-reputation coverage are noted but do not alter the overall clean profile given the extensive engine silence and long submission history.
What We Detected
74 antivirus engines scanned the ZIP archive; none returned a malicious or suspicious result. External intelligence sources (CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, YARAify) also returned no matches.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox execution data is available. The file carries static tags such as 'detect-debug-environment' and 'sets-process-name', but these alone do not indicate malice without corroborating detections or runtime evidence.
What To Do Now
The archive can be considered safe for normal use. Continue to keep endpoint protection enabled and scan any extracted contents before execution.
- Zero detections across 74 engines
- Common_old prevalence with 187 unique sources
- No external-intel or sandbox malicious signals
The file presents no observable malicious indicators and can be treated as safe.
Coverage & freshness
Complete means the check returned a usable result. It does not mean the file is safe.
