Why Suspicious? 10 antivirus engines flag it; nothing else confirms it.

Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.

Don't open or extract it until you know where it came from

If it came from a link, an attachment or a stranger, delete it.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't open or extract it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already opened or extracted it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Fortinet labels it riskware named after the analysis tool itself, and TrendMicro uses a generic trojan label. The sandbox runs show the program loading its own bundled libraries, with no recorded injection target. The file was submitted by a single source, so we cannot confirm it is an unmodified copy.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • Fortinet names the analysis tool itself as riskware rather than malware. The observed processes match that tool loading its own bundled libraries, which points toward a false positive on a genuine research utility.
  • Fifteen major antivirus engines, including BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Avira and DrWeb, did not flag the archive.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).

  • Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.

  • Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.

  • Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as contacting a server, but no contacted host was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as weakening security settings; no setting change was recorded.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.
