Is V210112-A_AFT adding the board.zip safe?
Only VBA32 flagged this ZIP among 75 engines, while all 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection and independent intelligence provided no corroboration.
The Adkor label comes from a single low-trust detector, with no support from any of the 17 tier-1 engines. Independent intelligence also found no matching malware record or research rules, although the archive is newly observed and lacks completed runtime analysis.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The Adkor label comes from a single low-trust detector, with no support from any of the 17 tier-1 engines. Independent intelligence also found no matching malware record or research rules, although the archive is newly observed and lacks completed runtime analysis.
VBA32 was the only engine among 75 to flag the archive, assigning the label BScope.Trojan.Adkor. All 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection, and there is no tier-1 family consensus. MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL supplied no corroborating intelligence. The file is newly observed and contains a PE, so limited reputation remains a caution rather than evidence of compromise. No sandbox execution or comprehensive host-reputation check was completed, preventing behavioral confirmation. Taken together, the isolated low-trust detection is substantially more consistent with a false positive than an established Adkor infection.
What We Detected
Only 1 of 75 antivirus engines flagged the ZIP archive. That detection came from VBA32 as BScope.Trojan.Adkor; all 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection, and no tier-1 family consensus exists.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so runtime behavior cannot be characterized. The contacted-host reputation check was also unavailable, and no claim about network safety can be made. Independent checks found no MalwareBazaar record, CIRCL match, or YARAify rule hit.
What To Do Now
The isolated low-trust alert is likely a false positive. Because the archive is newly observed and contains an executable, obtain it from a trusted source, inspect the extracted filenames, and keep endpoint protection enabled when opening or running its contents.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- VBA32 labeled the archive BScope.Trojan.Adkor, although no other engine corroborated that family.
- The archive is newly observed and contains a PE file, so its contents have not yet accumulated meaningful reputation.
- No completed sandbox run or comprehensive contacted-host reputation result is available.
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 1/75 engines reported a detection
- All 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection
- No tier-1 family consensus
- No MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify corroboration
- No brand mismatch or adversarial-input flags
- Newly observed archive with only one recorded submission
- ZIP archive contains at least one PE executable
- VBA32 reported BScope.Trojan.Adkor
- No completed runtime analysis
- No comprehensive contacted-host reputation result
Verify that the archive came from its expected source and scan extracted files before execution. Keep antivirus and endpoint protection enabled, especially because the executable contents have no completed runtime assessment.
