Why we think so
3 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Trapmine alone produced a generic machine-learning alert; no major antivirus engines flagged the file, and no malware family was identified. The sandbox summary recorded no named injection target, malicious child, or corroborating high-risk technique, making the isolated alert likely a false positive.
Only 1 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the executable, and that alert came from Trapmine rather than a major detector. The label is a generic machine-learning score and does not identify a malware family. No malware-specific community rules, public sample-database listing, or malicious file it created corroborated the alert. The file is unsigned and the complete host-reputation check was unavailable, so normal source verification remains advisable despite the strong false-positive pattern.
What We Detected
Trapmine was the only engine to flag the executable, using a generic machine-learning label. The other 74 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it did not flag it, including all reporting major antivirus engines, and no detector identified a specific malware family.
Threat Behavior
The sandbox summary contained generic T1055 and T1562.001 mappings, but no injected process or other supporting artefact was recorded. There was no malicious sandbox decision, confirmed persistence indicator, malware-specific rule match, malicious file it created, or public sample-database listing. A complete reputation result was not available for every observed network address.
What To Do Now
Keep security software enabled and obtain the executable from its expected source. Because it is unsigned, verify its SHA-256 with the distributor before running it, especially if it arrived unexpectedly.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The executable is unsigned, so its publisher cannot be authenticated.
- A prior file with the same import-table fingerprint received a suspicious decision, although it had more detections and no matching signer.
- A complete reputation check was not available for every observed network address.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Only 1 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, and no major antivirus engines detected it.
- No malware family was identified by the engines.
- The sandbox summary recorded no named process-injection target or other corroborated high-risk technique.
- No malicious file it created or malware-specific community-rule match was found.
- The executable does not appear packed and has no high-entropy code sections.
- The executable has no digital signature, so its publisher cannot be authenticated.
- A complete reputation check was not available for every observed network address.
- One engine produced a generic machine-learning alert.
