What to do now4 steps

This file is harmful. Don't run it, and remove it.

If you haven't run it

  1. Don't run this file. Delete it, then empty the Recycle Bin.

If you already ran it

  1. Disconnect the device from the internet, then run a full antivirus scan. Microsoft Defender Offline (Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options) also finds malware that hides while Windows runs.

  2. If you typed passwords on the device after running it, change them from another device you trust.

  3. If the scan keeps finding it, or the device still acts strangely, scan again with a second-opinion scanner from another company; if that doesn't fix it, back up your personal files and reinstall Windows.

If you already ran it, do these in order.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

32 of the 69 antivirus engines that checked it, including eight major detections, label the file malicious with Gen2 family consensus. The binary is unsigned, carries Themida tags, and matches a suspicious Themida YARA rule.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • prevalence.classification=medium (14 submitters) could indicate commodity software, but unsigned status and major detections outweigh this.
  • behaviour.analyzed=true yet sandboxCount=0 — absence of data from the test run leaves open the possibility of benign behaviour not captured by static signals.

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

Threat context

How trojans work

A trojan pretends to be something useful or harmless so that you run it. Once open, it does its real job in the background, from stealing data to opening a back door or downloading more malware.

Bottom line:The disguise is the whole trick, so a trustworthy-looking name or icon means nothing.
