Why we think so
5 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
All 49 antivirus engines that checked it were free of malicious or suspicious findings, including 13 major antivirus engines that completed their checks. The file is and has no the test run, so it should still come from a trusted game or application installation source.
The antivirus results contain no malicious or suspicious findings across 75 engines. Thirteen major antivirus engines completed checks without detection, including Kaspersky, ESET-NOD32, Microsoft, and Avira. External intelligence produced no MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify matches, and comparable file-type records also had no detections. Those historical comparisons are weak support because they match only by broad file type rather than signer or binary structure. The sample is and no completed runtime or comprehensive contacted-host analysis is available, so the conclusion rests primarily on static scanning.
What We Detected
None of the 49 antivirus engines that checked it reported a malicious or suspicious result. Thirteen major antivirus engines completed their checks without detection, including Kaspersky, ESET-NOD32, Microsoft, Avira, and DrWeb. MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, and YARAify produced no matching intelligence.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so behavior in the test run cannot be characterized. No complete contacted-host reputation result is available either. The filename and extension are consistent with an application or game asset bundle, but that context alone does not prove origin.
What To Do Now
Use the bundle only if it came with software obtained from its official distribution channel. Keep security software enabled, and rescan if the file changes or begins appearing outside the expected application directory.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- A first sighting today and a count of 1 submission mean the sample is and lacks established reputation.
- The absence of a completed sandbox run leaves activity in the test run unobserved, while the missing contacted-host reputation result means no complete contacted-host reputation check is available.
- Several engines timed out, including Avast, AVG, BitDefender, and Fortinet, although the remaining coverage was substantial.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/49 engines reported malicious or suspicious findings
- 13 major antivirus engines completed checks without detection
- No MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify hit
- No brand mismatch or adversarial filename indicators
- Five file-type comparisons had prior safe outcomes and 0/49 detections
- Sample with one submission from one source
- No completed observation from the test run
- No complete contacted-host reputation cross-check
- Several antivirus engines timed out
- Unknown generic file type limits format-specific validation
