Is email gen.py safe?
No antivirus engine detected this established Python script, and available threat-intelligence checks found no known family or researcher-rule match.
The script received no malicious or suspicious detections from 75 antivirus engines, including no alerts from 18 reporting tier-1 engines. It has also been known for over three years without a threat-intelligence match, although no completed runtime analysis is available.

Before running
Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
If you already ran it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The script received no malicious or suspicious detections from 75 antivirus engines, including no alerts from 18 reporting tier-1 engines. It has also been known for over three years without a threat-intelligence match, although no completed runtime analysis is available.
Static scanning produced 0 malicious and 0 suspicious results across 75 antivirus engines. All 18 reporting tier-1 engines were non-detecting, including Microsoft, Kaspersky, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, and Avast. Research intelligence returned no MalwareBazaar record, CIRCL hit, or YARAify rule match. The script has been observed for 1,328 days and submitted by 26 sources, reducing concern that it is an untested new sample. Code signing is not meaningful for this Python file, so its unsigned status carries no weight. No sandbox run or complete contacted-host reputation check is available, leaving runtime behavior unverified.
What We Detected
None of 75 antivirus engines marked the Python script as malicious or suspicious. The non-detecting set includes 18 tier-1 engines, such as Microsoft, Kaspersky, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, and Avast. MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, and YARAify returned no matching threat record or researcher rule.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so the script's runtime actions were not directly assessed. A complete reputation cross-check for any contacted hosts is also unavailable. The file has nevertheless been known for 1,328 days and was submitted by 26 distinct sources without accumulating detections.
What To Do Now
Keep endpoint protection enabled and obtain scripts from a source you trust. If the script will handle credentials, email accounts, or personal data, inspect its readable Python source and run it only in an isolated environment with appropriate permissions.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- behaviour=null, so the Python script was not observed executing and its runtime actions remain unverified.
- contactedHosts=null, so no complete reputation assessment is available for any hosts the script might contact.
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 antivirus engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- 18 tier-1 engines reported no detection.
- No MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify match was found.
- The sample has been known for 1,328 days across 26 sources.
- No completed runtime observation is available.
- No complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
- The filename suggests email-generation functionality, but filename alone does not establish intent or behavior.
Keep protection enabled and use the script only if its source and purpose are trusted. Review the readable Python code or test it in an isolated environment before granting access to accounts or sensitive data.

What to do now
This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.
- Recovery step 01
Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source 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.
