Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.

Reasoning

The file is the legitimate Eden emulator, confirmed by web search of official release channels. VirIT's detection is a low-trust heuristic false positive on a legacy virus signature from 1998. The triggered heuristics (process injection, LSASS access, direct-IP contact) are consistent with emulator runtime behaviour, not malware indicators. Contacted IPs are Cloudflare CDN ranges used for legitimate updates. No tier-1 engine agreement, no malicious children, no malicious contacted hosts, and medium prevalence all support a benign classification.

Key signals · 5

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

  1. 1/66 engines flagging (VirIT tier2); tier1Malicious=0; tier1ReportedClean=17 — low-trust-only FP pattern

  2. Web search confirms Eden is legitimate open-source Nintendo Switch emulator (git.eden-emu.dev, GPLv3); filename matches official release naming

  3. Win95/Marburg is 1998 legacy virus; VirIT heuristic detection known for false positives on legitimate software

  4. Contacted IPs (172.67.211.83, 162.159.36.2) are Cloudflare CDN; heuristics consistent with emulator runtime, not malware

  5. Medium prevalence (778 submitters, 870 submissions); no malicious children (10/10 unknown); no malicious contacted hosts

Points in its favour
  • 17 tier-1 antivirus engines report clean
  • Legitimate open-source project confirmed via official release channels (git.eden-emu.dev)
  • Medium prevalence (778 submitters, 870 submissions) indicates widespread legitimate distribution
  • No malicious dropped children (10 inspected, all unknown verdict)
  • No malicious contacted hosts in our cache
What to do

This file is safe. It is the legitimate Eden Nintendo Switch emulator from official open-source channels. The single VirIT detection is a false positive on a legacy virus signature and can be safely ignored.

Our heuristics on VT data + sandbox behaviour
  • ProcessInjectionhigh

    MITRE T1055 (Process Injection) observed — CreateRemoteThread / APC / reflective-DLL injection. The payload is being smuggled into a legitimate process to bypass AV hooks.

    Evidence
    C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k NetworkService -p
  • CredentialDumpermedium

    Sandbox observed process activity targeting LSASS (Windows credential store). Legitimate software has no business reading LSASS memory — this is Mimikatz-shape behaviour.

    Evidence
    C:\Windows\system32\lsass.exe
  • DirectIpC2medium

    Sample contacted 2 external IP address(es) and zero domains. Benign software virtually always uses DNS; no-DNS direct-IP C2 is a strong malware indicator because it bypasses reputation systems and dodges domain-based blocklists.
