Before opening
Treat the file as unverified and avoid opening it until more evidence is available.
If you already opened it
Run a full device scan. If its origin cannot be confirmed, delete this file and use a fresh copy from a trusted source.
Intelligence
The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The file is a tiny Internet shortcut with no malicious detections across 75 engines. Its rarity and unknown file type leave insufficient data for a definitive verdict.
Zero detections from 75 engines and no tier-1 flags indicate the file is not recognized malware. The 91-byte size and unknown file type, combined with only one submission, place it in the rare_new category. Similar files of the same type previously received unknown verdicts due to low coverage. Sandbox analysis showed only ambient system queries with no malicious behaviour. Because contacted-host reputation data is missing, a complete network assessment cannot be made.
What We Detected
75 engines scanned the 91-byte file; none flagged it malicious or suspicious. Sandbox execution recorded two benign system-information queries and no outbound connections.
Threat Behavior
No malicious indicators were observed. The file appears to be a plain Windows Internet shortcut (.url) pointing to an archive.org page.
What To Do Now
Because coverage is low and the file is new, treat it as unverified. Avoid clicking the shortcut until you can confirm its destination or obtain additional reputation data.
