Is UNETHICAL INSTRUMENTAL - FAOUZIA.mp3 safe?
No antivirus engine detected this MP3, and its media format plus absent threat-intelligence matches provide strong evidence against an active malware payload.
All 74 antivirus engines returned without a malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 engines reporting no detection. The file is identified as MP3 audio, and no external intelligence matched it, although the exact hash is newly observed and lacks runtime analysis.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 74 antivirus engines returned without a malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 engines reporting no detection. The file is identified as MP3 audio, and no external intelligence matched it, although the exact hash is newly observed and lacks runtime analysis.
The sample is consistently identified as an audio/mpeg MP3 rather than an executable. None of 74 antivirus engines flagged it, and 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection. No MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify match provides contrary threat intelligence. Five earlier MP3 comparisons also received clean assessments, although file-type-only similarity is weak supporting evidence. Because no sandbox run completed and contacted-host checking is unavailable, the conclusion rests on static scanning rather than observed runtime behavior.
What We Detected
The 3,237,005-byte sample is identified as an audio/mpeg MP3. None of 74 antivirus engines reported a malicious or suspicious result, including 17 tier-1 engines that reported no detection. External intelligence produced no MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify match.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so runtime behavior cannot be characterized. No complete contacted-host reputation result is available either. Static evidence contains no executable analysis, malicious family label, dropped-child finding, or triggered heuristic.
What To Do Now
The file can be handled as ordinary audio while normal endpoint protection remains enabled. If it came from an untrusted source or fails to play as expected, verify its true format with a media-inspection tool and rescan it after additional reputation history develops.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- prevalence.classification=rare_new with prevalence.timesSubmitted=1 — the exact hash is newly observed and has little reputation history.
- behaviour=null and contactedHosts=null leave runtime activity and contacted-host reputation unassessed.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/74 engines reported a malicious or suspicious detection.
- engines.tier1ReportedClean=17 and engines.tier1Malicious=0.
- file.mimeType=audio/mpeg matches file.fileType=MP3.
- externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0 and externalIntel.malwareBazaar.hit=false.
- 5/5 similarHashes entries have verdict='safe', though all are matchKind=filetype.
- prevalence.classification=rare_new: the exact hash has only one recorded submission.
- behaviour=null: no completed runtime observation is available.
- contactedHosts=null: no complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
Normal use as an audio file is reasonable while keeping endpoint protection enabled. Recheck the file if its source is untrusted, its contents behave unexpectedly, or its extension does not match its actual format.
