Is FishSol-v2.ahk safe?

Verdict
Safe

One of 74 engines produced an uncorroborated generic dropper heuristic, while all 17 tier-1 engines found no detection and external intelligence returned no hits.

Skyhigh alone flagged this AutoHotkey text file with a behavior-based dropper label; the other 73 of 74 engines did not, including all 17 tier-1 engines. This strongly favors a false alarm, although no completed sandbox observation is available to confirm what the script does when executed.

Open with normal care

Keep protection enabled and use only a copy obtained from the official project release. Review the AutoHotkey source before execution and avoid it if it launches hidden commands, downloads payloads, or modifies persistence settings.

Analyst conclusion

Skyhigh alone flagged this AutoHotkey text file with a behavior-based dropper label; the other 73 of 74 engines did not, including all 17 tier-1 engines. This strongly favors a false alarm, although no completed sandbox observation is available to confirm what the script does when executed.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • Skyhigh, a tier-2 engine, reported BehavesLike.VBS.Dropper.hv; this remains a counter-signal despite the lack of corroboration.
  • The sample was first submitted only 3 days ago, limiting the value of longer-term reputation.
  • No completed sandbox run or contacted-host reputation check is available, so potentially harmful script actions cannot be excluded.

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

Keep protection enabled and use only a copy obtained from the official project release. Review the AutoHotkey source before execution and avoid it if it launches hidden commands, downloads payloads, or modifies persistence settings.

6 evidence-based answers
Is FishSol-v2.ahk safe?
Evidence-based answer
FishSol-v2.ahk appears safe. 1 of 74 antivirus engines flagged it; the 1 detection were treated as non-decisive after the wider evidence was weighed. Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
What is FishSol-v2.ahk?
Evidence-based answer
FishSol-v2.ahk is a file, about 526 KB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected FishSol-v2.ahk?
Evidence-based answer
1 of 74 antivirus engines flagged FishSol-v2.ahk, 1 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.
What is the SHA-256 hash of FishSol-v2.ahk?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of FishSol-v2.ahk is 9e98e6fd1ab9cba468d03e9e1a9360b82c20d2ae7dbd522a03a4ae227d48031a, and its MD5 is 322c3a46011adbcb6e3ab040efb265de. 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.
Is it safe to open FishSol-v2.ahk?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, FishSol-v2.ahk has a low observed risk. 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, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of FishSol-v2.ahk?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 18, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of FishSol-v2.ahk 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.
