Why we think so
2 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
The two generic detections are likely false positives: neither came from a major antivirus engine, and no recognized malware family was identified. The test run found no malicious outcome, named injection target, persistence, or sample-attributed network activity, while external intelligence supplied no corroboration.
Eighteen major antivirus engines reported no detection, and no engine consensus identified a real malware family. Four sandbox runs produced no malicious verdict, named injection target, persistence indicator, or network activity attributable to the sample. The mapping lacks an injection target and therefore does not show that process injection occurred. Host-reputation checks found no malicious or suspicious result among the seven inspected contacts, all of which were identified as analysis-environment background traffic. The file is unsigned, but that absence of publisher provenance does not outweigh the broader evidence supporting false positives.
What We Detected
Only 2 of the 72 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the executable. MaxSecure and Rising used generic trojan labels, while the major antivirus engines reported no detection and no recognized malware family emerged.
Threat Behavior
Four sandbox runs produced no malicious verdict. No named process-injection target, persistence mechanism, file it created, or sample-attributed network contact was recorded. A T1055 mapping appeared without the artifact needed to demonstrate process injection. The seven inspected contacts were analysis-environment background traffic, and none had malicious or suspicious reputation.
What To Do Now
The detections appear consistent with false positives. Keep security software enabled and obtain the executable from its original trusted source; if its origin is uncertain or it behaves unexpectedly, avoid running it and request publisher verification.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- MaxSecure and Rising each produced a generic trojan detection, so a malicious interpretation cannot be ruled out solely from antivirus results.
- The executable is unsigned, leaving no verified publisher identity to provide additional provenance.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- All 18 major antivirus engines reported no detection.
- Four sandbox runs produced no malicious verdict or corroborated high-risk behavior.
- No sample-attributed network contact or malicious dropped file was observed.
- No malware-specific community rule or public malware-database match was found.
- The executable is not packed and has no high-entropy code indication.
- Two engines produced generic trojan detections.
- The executable has no verified digital signature.
