What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't open or extract it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already opened or extracted it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Seven major antivirus engines label the contents as unwanted or MSILHeracles variants; sandbox shows two offensive MITRE techniques but no malicious verdict. Medium prevalence and no malicious files it created keep the file in mixed-signals territory.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • contactedHosts is null — no complete host-reputation result available for IP 162.159.36.2.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
