MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.

65%Confidence
High
Reasoning

Strong clean signals from high-coverage engine scans outweigh any concerns initially. Yet the file's extreme newness, tiny size, and ZIP nature introduce uncertainty, as archives can conceal unpackable payloads. Absence of behavior, intel, or precedents prevents full clearance. Overall, mixed profile tilts suspicious pending deeper inspection.

Key signals · 5

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

  1. 65/75 engines reporting undetected (17 tier1 clean: Avast, BitDefender, ESET, F-Secure, Fortinet, GData, Ikarus, Kaspersky, Microsoft)

  2. prevalence.classification='rare_new' (1 unique source, firstSeen='2026-04-28')

  3. fileSize=377 bytes ZIP (looksLikePortable=true)

  4. No topDetections with malicious/hacktool labels

  5. No externalIntel.circl.hit, yaraify.hit=false, malwareBazaar.hit=false

Points in its favour
  • 17 tier1ReportedClean (e.g., BitDefender, ESET, Kaspersky)
  • 0 malicious from 65 reporting engines
  • No triggeredHeuristics
  • No hacktool/adware labels in topDetections
  • Clean tier1FamilyConsensus (family=null)
Points against
  • ageDays=0 (brand new)
  • rare_new prevalence (1 submission)
  • fileSize=377 bytes (minimal ZIP)
  • No behaviour/dynamic analysis
  • Unsigned/no signerStats
  • No similarHashes precedents
Recommended action

Do not open or execute. Extract contents in a secure sandbox or virtual machine, then rescan all extracted files. Delete if source untrusted.

What to do now

We couldn't fully clear this file. Treat it with caution.

  1. Don't run it unless you're certain it came from a source you trust.

  2. Check where you got it — an email attachment or a random download link is a red flag.

  3. If you're unsure, delete it. You can always re-download a clean copy from the official source.

  4. If you're still unsure, scan it again in a day or two — detections often catch up on newer files.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about Mod.-347.zip, answered from the scan data above.

  • Mod.-347.zip is suspicious — treat it as unsafe until you're sure. 0 of 75 antivirus engines flag it, which isn't a strong consensus but is enough to be cautious. Don't opened or extracted it unless you fully trust where it came from, and prefer downloading the software fresh from its official site.
  • Mod.-347.zip is a compressed archive, about 377 bytes. We identify a file by its cryptographic hash rather than its name, because the same filename can be reused by completely different files — the hash below is the reliable fingerprint.
  • None — all 75 antivirus engines we queried report Mod.-347.zip as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.
  • Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
  • To remove Mod.-347.zip: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete the original Mod.-347.zip file and empty the Recycle Bin/Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
  • The SHA-256 hash of Mod.-347.zip is af4aee5cf040397a9fbed35476da0a2af6425cc91e7faf15263410790c69a18c, and its MD5 is f2d720473721f40a026e21a9b16a5877. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
  • This report reflects the scan run on April 28, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Mod.-347.zip is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
