MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The two generic Trojan detections come exclusively from less reliable engines; none of the higher-trust engines flagged the archive. Completed observations from the test run found no malicious sandbox result or named injection target, and the comprehensive check of observed contacts found no malicious or suspicious host.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The archive was first observed on the analysis date and had only one submitter, so it lacks established prevalence.
  • MaxSecure and VBA32 applied generic Trojan labels, although neither detection is supported by a higher-trust engine.
  • Direct traffic to two IP addresses was recorded, but the complete host-reputation check found neither address malicious or suspicious.

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