Strong evidence · Two or more major antivirus engines agree.

Remove it unless you use it on purpose

Keep it only if you installed it on purpose for security testing. Otherwise delete it and run a full antivirus scan.

What to do now4 steps

This is a hacking tool. It is risky to keep and run, but finding it is not by itself a sign that the device is infected.

What to do

  1. Don't run it unless you got it on purpose for security testing on systems you own. Delete it, then empty the Recycle Bin.

  2. If you didn't put it on the device yourself, delete it and run a full antivirus scan: something else may have brought it.

  3. Tools like this often come with cracked or pirated software. If it came that way, treat the whole download as unsafe and scan everything it installed.

If you already ran it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

If you opened or installed it

Avoid banking and sign-ins on that device until it is clean. These free MalwareTips guides walk you through it.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The executable is consistently identified as a keygen, crack tool, or patcher by 49 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it, including eight major detections.

Where this verdict could be wrong5 caveats
  • No sandbox returned a malicious verdict, so the completed sandbox did not independently issue a malware verdict.
  • No community YARA rule matched, the hash is not in the known-software reference database, and the hash is not listed in the MalwareBazaar malware database; these absences may reflect coverage gaps.
  • It has 926 distinct submitters and it was submitted 1082 times since Mar 28, 2019, showing the sample is old and widely encountered rather than newly observed.
  • No dropped file is known to be malicious, although all five inspected children remain unclassified.
  • The cross-check of 4 hosts returned no cached malicious or suspicious hits, but coverage was incomplete relative to the observed contacts.

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

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).

  • Moderate concern: Used an unusual way to talk to a server.

  • Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.

  • Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.

  • Note: Talked to servers over the internet during the test run.

  • Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.

  • Note: Loaded extra code modules while running.

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as recording keystrokes; no keylogging was confirmed.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as creating a service; no new service was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as setting up auto-start; no auto-start entry was recorded.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

Threat context

How hacking tools are used

Hacking tools are programs that can switch off security software, test passwords or attack other computers. Security professionals use them on purpose; criminals also bundle them with malware.

Bottom line:Keep it only if you installed it on purpose, and check how it got onto the device if you didn't.
