Is abare_mod_0.2.9.zip safe?
No engine among 75 detected a threat, including 17 tier-1 engines, although the newly observed ZIP lacks runtime and contacted-host evidence.
All 75 engines returned no malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 products, and curated intelligence produced no matches. Because this ZIP is newly observed, contains an executable, and has no completed runtime analysis, keep protection enabled and obtain it only from the expected source.

Before opening or extracting
Open or extract it only when its sender or download source has been independently verified.
If you already opened or extracted it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 75 engines returned no malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 products, and curated intelligence produced no matches. Because this ZIP is newly observed, contains an executable, and has no completed runtime analysis, keep protection enabled and obtain it only from the expected source.
The strongest evidence is the complete absence of detections across 75 engines, with 17 tier-1 engines reporting no threat. MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL also produced no match, and no heuristic rule fired. Four prior archive samples received clean assessments, but those are only file-type matches and therefore add little identity-specific assurance. The file has been submitted only once and contains a PE file, so it has not accumulated meaningful reputation. No completed sandbox observation or comprehensive contacted-host check is available, which limits confidence about what the embedded executable may do.
What We Detected
None of 75 antivirus engines flagged the ZIP as malicious or suspicious. This includes 17 tier-1 engines, while MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL returned no matching threat intelligence. No filename, brand-mismatch, test-file, or hacktool indicator was present.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox run is available, so execution behavior was not observed. The archive is tagged as containing a PE executable, and no comprehensive reputation check exists for any hosts it might contact after execution.
What To Do Now
Confirm that the archive came from the expected project or developer before extracting it. Keep endpoint protection enabled, scan extracted files, and avoid running the embedded executable if the download source or expected contents cannot be verified.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The archive is newly observed and contains a PE file, so its current lack of detections does not establish a long-term reputation.
- behaviour=null and contactedHosts=null leave execution behavior and contacted-host reputation unverified.
- The four prior safe samples are only file-type matches, which offer weak similarity evidence.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/75 engines reported a malicious or suspicious detection
- 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection
- No MalwareBazaar, YARAify, or CIRCL match
- No triggered heuristics or brand mismatch
- 4/5 file-type-similar samples previously received clean assessments
- Newly observed file with only one submission
- ZIP archive contains a PE executable
- No completed runtime observation
- No comprehensive contacted-host reputation result
Use the archive only if it came from the expected official source, and scan its extracted contents before execution. Keep antivirus and endpoint protection enabled.
