MT AI Engine · our arbiter

The verdict, reasoned out.

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

Very high
Reasoning

The file is a benign ZIP archive with unanimous clean verdicts from our antivirus network. Seventeen tier-1 engines—among the most reliable malware detectors—all report no detection. The absence of any malicious label, sandbox verdict, or external intelligence corroboration (CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, YARAify all negative) strongly indicates the file is safe. The rare_new prevalence classification reflects only that this specific archive is newly submitted; it does not contradict the clean consensus. No heuristic rules fired, and no adversarial filename patterns were detected.

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. tier1Malicious=0; 17 tier-1 engines (Kaspersky, Microsoft, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Avira, Fortinet, F-Secure, Emsisoft, Ikarus, GData, DrWeb, Avast, AVG) all undetected

  2. engines.reporting=65/75; malicious=0, suspicious=0, undetected=64 — unanimous clean across all reporting engines

  3. prevalence.classification=rare_new (1 submitter, 1 submission) — new file but no malicious signals to justify concern

  4. No sandbox behaviour data, no dropped children, no contacted hosts, no external intel hits (CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, YARAify all false)

  5. adversarialInputFlags all false; triggeredHeuristics empty; no brand mismatch — no adversarial or heuristic red flags

Points in its favour
  • 17 tier-1 antivirus engines all undetected (Kaspersky, Microsoft, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Avira, Fortinet, F-Secure, Emsisoft, Ikarus, GData, DrWeb, Avast, AVG)
  • 65/75 total engines reporting; 0 malicious, 0 suspicious, 64 undetected
  • No external intelligence hits (CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, YARAify all negative)
  • No sandbox malicious verdict, no dropped children, no malicious contacted hosts
  • No adversarial filename patterns or hidden characters detected
What to do

This file is safe. No further action is needed. If you wish to inspect the contents of the ZIP archive, extract and scan individual files, but the archive itself presents no detected threat.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
