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 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this icon file, including the participating major antivirus engines. Available static intelligence also produced no malware-family or malware-specific rule matches, although no runtime or complete contacted-host assessment was available.
The sample is an ICO image resource rather than an executable program. None of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, and 17 major antivirus engines reported no detection. None of our behaviour rules matched, and there are no file it created findings or conflicting reports. Behavior in the test run was not observed, and no complete host-reputation result is available, but those coverage limitations do not outweigh the consistently benign static evidence for this non-executable file.
What We Detected
The file is a 92,993-byte ICO icon. None of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, including the participating major antivirus engines, and no rule-based rule fired.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so behavior in the test run cannot be characterized. A complete contacted-host reputation assessment is also unavailable. Static intelligence produced no malware-database hit or malware-specific YARA match.
What To Do Now
The evidence is consistent with an ordinary icon resource. Keep normal security software enabled, and rescan if the file changes or arrives alongside an unexpected executable, script, or shortcut.
- None of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.
- The file is a non-executable ICO icon resource.
