Is BFTSetup_V1.7.rar safe?

Verdict
Malicious

Nine tier-1 engines flag this archive, including VMProtect trojan detections, while sandbox evidence shows defense impairment, elevation, destructive capability, and LSASS-related activity.

The archive drew detections from 33 of 74 engines, including nine high-trust engines and two VMProtect-family identifications. A completed sandbox also recorded three offensive MITRE techniques and LSASS-related activity, so the evidence is substantially stronger than a packer-only false positive.

Do not open or extract this archive

Quarantine the archive and do not run its installer; acquire the tool only through a verified official source. If execution already occurred, keep protection enabled and perform a full scan plus credential-access and security-control review.

The reasoning behind this verdict

This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.

91%Confidence

Analyst conclusion

The archive drew detections from 33 of 74 engines, including nine high-trust engines and two VMProtect-family identifications. A completed sandbox also recorded three offensive MITRE techniques and LSASS-related activity, so the evidence is substantially stronger than a packer-only false positive.

Where this verdict could be wrong5 caveats
  • engines.tier1FamilyConsensus.strong=false: only 2 tier-1 engines agree on VMProtect, while several other detections are generic or PUA labels.
  • behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false, and the single completed sandbox did not issue an explicit malware verdict.
  • contactedHosts inspected 1/1 observed host and found no cached malicious or suspicious match.
  • droppedChildren inspected 10 files without a malicious child, although every child remained unclassified.
  • prevalence shows 749 submitters and 846 submissions, indicating the file is neither rare nor newly observed.

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

Recommended action

Quarantine the archive and do not run its installer; acquire the tool only through a verified official source. If execution already occurred, keep protection enabled and perform a full scan plus credential-access and security-control review.

What this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

  • High concern: Attempted to impair or bypass security controls.

  • Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.

  • Moderate concern: Scans through your files and folders.

  • Moderate concern: Checked the environment for virtualisation or analysis tools.

  • Note: Collects details about your system.

These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

Threat context

How trojans work

A trojan disguises itself as something useful or harmless to trick you into running it. Once open, it does its real job in the background — anything 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.

Is BFTSetup_V1.7.rar a virus?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — BFTSetup_V1.7.rar is malicious. Do not open or extract it. Delete this archive from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 33 of 74 antivirus engines flag it (family: VMProtect-packed trojan). It behaves as a trojan — malware disguised as something harmless to trick you into running it. If you've already opened or extracted it, see the removal and recovery steps below.
What is BFTSetup_V1.7.rar?
Evidence-based answer
BFTSetup_V1.7.rar is a compressed archive, about 31.5 MB. Our analysis identifies it as malicious (family: VMProtect-packed trojan) — a trojan — malware disguised as something harmless to trick you into running it. Because a file's name and icon can be faked, the safest way to identify it is by its cryptographic hash (below), not its filename.
How many antivirus engines detected BFTSetup_V1.7.rar?
Evidence-based answer
33 of 74 antivirus engines flagged BFTSetup_V1.7.rar, 33 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence. The malicious verdict comes from the complete saved evidence, not from this antivirus count by itself.
What should I do if I already opened or extracted BFTSetup_V1.7.rar?
Evidence-based answer
Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
How do I remove BFTSetup_V1.7.rar?
Evidence-based answer
To remove BFTSetup_V1.7.rar: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete this archive from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
What kind of malware is BFTSetup_V1.7.rar?
Evidence-based answer
BFTSetup_V1.7.rar is classified as a trojan — malware disguised as something harmless to trick you into running it. Engines attribute it to the VMProtect-packed trojan family. Knowing the family matters because it tells you the likely impact — data theft, remote control, file encryption, or unwanted ads — and guides the cleanup.
What is the SHA-256 hash of BFTSetup_V1.7.rar?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of BFTSetup_V1.7.rar is 979e3056db81304954455f664087671c11ce988841c5fe140deea4d759fcbbc0, and its MD5 is 3120aa22bcf12284a64f4b93b41be0bf. 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.
How up to date is this analysis of BFTSetup_V1.7.rar?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 28, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of BFTSetup_V1.7.rar 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.
