Why we think so
3 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
No malware-family or malware-specific research match was found, although behavior in the test run and contacted-host reputation were not available for review.
The scan contains no malicious or suspicious detection among 75 engines. Seventeen reporting major antivirus engines, including Microsoft, Kaspersky, ESET-NOD32, and BitDefender, returned no detection. Malware-family databases and malware-specific YARA research supplied no corroborating hit. The file also appeared through 85 distinct submission sources, which provides some circulation evidence despite its recent first submission. No sandbox execution was completed, and no complete contacted-host reputation result is available, so this assessment does not validate the extension's runtime permissions or network activity.
What We Detected
None of the 64 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the Chrome extension as malicious or suspicious. Seventeen reporting major antivirus engines, including Microsoft, Kaspersky, ESET-NOD32, and BitDefender, returned no detection. Research feeds also supplied no malware-family match or malware-specific YARA rule hit.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation was available, so the extension's permissions, scripts, browser activity, and network behavior were not observed when it ran. A complete contacted-host reputation check was also unavailable. The archive appeared through 85 distinct submission sources and 91 total submissions, providing some circulation evidence, though its first submission was recent.
What To Do Now
Install the extension only if it came from the expected developer or an official browser-store listing. Review its requested permissions and remove it if it requests access unrelated to displaying desktop GIFs or begins redirecting pages, injecting advertisements, or changing browser settings.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The file was first submitted on Oct 13, 2026, so there has been limited time for antivirus signatures and reputation data to mature.
- No sandbox run completed, leaving extension permissions, script execution, and network behavior unobserved.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
