Is 2Tails1.2NovaFox.blend safe?
No antivirus engine detected a threat in this ZST data file, although its very recent appearance and absent runtime analysis limit certainty.
All 75 antivirus engines returned without a malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 engines. No external intelligence source corroborated a threat, but the file is newly observed and lacks completed runtime and contacted-host analysis, so ordinary caution remains appropriate.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 75 antivirus engines returned without a malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 engines. No external intelligence source corroborated a threat, but the file is newly observed and lacks completed runtime and contacted-host analysis, so ordinary caution remains appropriate.
The strongest evidence is the absence of detections across 75 antivirus engines, with all 17 reporting tier-1 engines also silent. No malware family, hacktool label, malicious child, or curated external-intelligence match is present. Code signing is not meaningful for this ZST data file, so the lack of a signature does not count against it. Five prior file-type matches received safe decisions, though file-type-only similarity is weak support and does not establish common origin. Confidence is moderated because the sample has only one submission, no completed runtime observation, and no saved contacted-host reputation check.
What We Detected
None of the 75 antivirus engines flagged the file as malicious or suspicious. The 17 tier-1 engines that reported, including Avast, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Kaspersky, and Microsoft, produced no detection. MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, and YARAify also supplied no corroborating threat match.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available because behaviour is null. A contacted-host reputation check was also not completed or saved, so no conclusion about network activity can be drawn. The sample is a ZST data file rather than a signable executable, and no malicious dropped child is recorded.
What To Do Now
The available static evidence does not indicate malware. Because this hash is newly observed and has minimal reputation history, obtain it from a trusted source, keep endpoint protection enabled, and avoid opening it in an outdated or untrusted application.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- behaviour=null provides no runtime evidence that could confirm how the contents act when opened or processed.
- contactedHosts=null means no complete host-reputation result is available.
- The file has only 1 submission from 1 source, so its clean detection profile has little historical depth.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/75 engines reported malicious or suspicious results
- 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection
- No MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify hit
- No confirmed hacktool label or tier-1 family consensus
- 5/5 file-type-only similar records had safe verdicts
- Newly observed hash with 1 submission from 1 source
- No completed runtime observation
- No complete contacted-host reputation result
- Generic application/octet-stream MIME classification
The file may be handled with normal caution if it came from a trusted source. Keep security software enabled and rescan if its source is uncertain or new detections appear.

How widely this file has been seen
Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. That limits reputation evidence, but rarity alone is not proof of malware.

What to do now
This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.
- Recovery step 01
Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
- Recovery step 02
A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.
- Recovery step 03
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.
