Why we think so
0 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 56 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this 56-byte autorun configuration file, including the major antivirus engines. No malware-family labels, triggered rules, or researcher-curated rule matches were found; behavior in the test run was not observed.
The sample is a 56-byte autorun configuration file rather than an executable. None of the 56 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, and the major antivirus engines supplied no malware detections or family consensus. External intelligence produced no MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify matches, and no static behaviour rule matched. Code signing is not meaningful for this file type, so its absence carries no negative weight. No sandbox run completed, and no complete contacted-host reputation result is available, so the conclusion rests on the file characteristics and static scan evidence.
What We Detected
The sample is a 56-byte autorun configuration file. None of the 56 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, including the major antivirus engines, and no engine supplied a malware-family label.
Threat Behavior
No static behaviour rule matched, and researcher-curated sources returned no malware or family-specific rule matches. No completed sandbox observation is available, so behavior in the test run and network activity cannot be characterized.
What To Do Now
No remediation is indicated by the available evidence. If this file appeared unexpectedly on removable media, inspect the surrounding files as a precaution because an autorun configuration can reference another payload even when the configuration file itself is harmless.
- None of the 56 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.
- All 17 reporting major antivirus engines supplied no detection.
- No static rule or malware-family label was recorded.
- Researcher-curated intelligence returned no matching malware rules or known sample entry.
