Why we think so
3 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 55 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the RAR archive, and available external checks produced no malware-specific match. Confidence is moderated because the file was first observed on Oct 12, 2026, no sandbox run completed, and archive contents can carry separate executable files.
The sample is a RAR archive rather than a directly executable program, and none of the 55 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it. Multiple major engines, including Microsoft, BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Avast, and Avira, returned no detection. Available MalwareBazaar and YARA-based checks did not provide malware-specific corroboration. There is no completed observation from the test run, and no complete contacted-host reputation result is available. Because the file has only one submission on its first observed day, the result should not be treated as a guarantee about every archived item.
What We Detected
None of the 55 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the 6.4 MB RAR archive. Major engines including Microsoft, BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Avast, and Avira reported no detection, and available external checks supplied no malware-specific match.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox run is available, so no behavior in the test run was observed. A complete contacted-host reputation check is also unavailable. Since this is an archive, any files extracted from it may have a different risk profile and should be scanned individually before use.
What To Do Now
Keep security software enabled, extract the archive only if its source is expected, and scan each extracted file before opening it. Exercise additional caution because the archive was first observed on Oct 12, 2026 and has little established reputation.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The archive was first observed on Oct 12, 2026 and has only one submission, so its reputation is not established.
- No completed sandbox run examined the archive's contents or any extracted files.
- The five prior favorable results share only a broad file-type match, not the same hash, signer, or implementation.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 55 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the archive.
- Major engines including Microsoft, BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Avast, and Avira reported no detection.
- Available external intelligence checks returned no malware-specific match.
- Five broadly similar file-type results previously received favorable assessments, though the similarity is weak.
- The archive was first observed on Oct 12, 2026 and has only one recorded submission.
- No completed the test run examined what the archive may do after extraction.
- The archive's individual contents have not been separately assessed in this evidence.
