Why we think so
4 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
All 61 antivirus engines that checked it returned without a malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 major antivirus engines. The sample is identified as plain text rather than an executable, although no runtime or complete contacted-host assessment is available.
The strongest evidence is complete detection silence across 75 antivirus engines, with no major flags. File typing identifies the sample as plain text, despite its executable-looking name, and code-signing or PE checks therefore do not apply. MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, and YARAify supplied no corroborating threat intelligence. Two prior file-type-only matches were marked safe, although this is weak contextual support rather than identity-level similarity. No sandbox run or complete contacted-host reputation check is available, which limits claims about runtime and network activity.
What We Detected
The sample is a 112,225-byte plain-text file named with an executable-like suffix. None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it reported a malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 major antivirus engines, and no malware family was identified.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so the file's runtime effects were not observed. The contacted-host reputation block is also unavailable, meaning no complete network-reputation conclusion can be drawn. External checks returned no MalwareBazaar record, CIRCL match, or YARAify rule hit.
What To Do Now
Treat the file as text and inspect its contents with a text editor if needed. Keep security software enabled, and avoid renaming or executing the file unless its source and intended purpose are understood.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- No completed sandbox run was recorded, so the content was not observed during execution and runtime effects cannot be assessed.
- No contacted-host reputation result was saved, so no complete host-reputation result is available.
- A count of 1 distinct submitter and a count of 1 submission provide little independent circulation history.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/61 engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- 17 major antivirus engines reported it clean with the absence of major detections.
- The hash is not listed in the MalwareBazaar malware database and no community YARA rule matched.
- The file type is Text and code signing does not apply to this file type.
- triggeredHeuristics is empty.
- Its original file name (hidden on this page for privacy) resembles a Windows executable even though the MIME type is text/plain.
- No completed sandbox observation is available because no completed sandbox run was recorded.
- No complete contacted-host reputation result is available because no contacted-host reputation result was saved.
- Submission history is limited to a count of 1 distinct submitter.
