Why we think so
0 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this RAR archive, including all major antivirus engines that analysed it. Malware databases and community rule sets have no record of it, and the sandbox run recorded no suspicious activity. Its contents were not opened by our own analysis, so check what you extract.
None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this archive, and every major antivirus engine that analysed it returned a clean result. Public malware sample databases, community malware rules and known-file references have no entry for this hash. The sandbox run recorded no processes, no high-risk techniques and only the analysis machine's own background traffic. The file has been submitted by a handful of sources since it was first seen on Jan 8, 2026, which gives limited history but no warning signs. Because the archive's contents were not opened by our own static analysis, the result rests mainly on the engine scans.
What We Detected
This is a 44.5 MB RAR archive first seen on Jan 8, 2026. None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, and all 18 major antivirus engines that analysed it returned clean results. No malware database, community rule set or reputation check matched it.
Threat Behavior
The sandbox run recorded no processes started by the sample, no high-risk techniques and no network activity beyond the analysis machine's own background traffic. No dropped file has a hostile verdict. Our own static analysis did not open the archive, so its individual contents were not examined by us.
What To Do Now
The archive can be opened. If it holds images or artwork as its name suggests, that matches expectations; if it instead contains executables or scripts, scan those files separately before running them, and keep your security software enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- The archive's contents were not inspected by our own static analysis, and archives can hide executables that engines only partially unpack; with a small number of submitters there is limited history to fall back on.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- No detections from any of the 75 engines, including every major antivirus engine that analysed it
- No match in public malware databases or community malware rules
- The sandbox run showed no suspicious processes or network activity
