What to do now5 steps
Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.
What to do
Don't open or extract it unless you're sure where it came from.
Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.
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.
It is only 1 day old. If you're unsure, scan it again in a few days; antivirus engines often catch up on new files.
If you already opened or extracted it
Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

Why we think so
5 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
The archive appears to be a Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 celebration mod tool, first seen on Oct 25, 2026 and submitted by only three sources. Eight of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flag it, including Ikarus and Avira, but only with generic packer or crypter labels. The combined sandbox verdict was clean, so these signals point both ways.
Eight of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flag the archive, and two of the votes come from major antivirus engines: Ikarus, and Avira together with F-Secure, which runs Avira's engine. All the labels are generic crypter or packer names, and none of them identifies a real malware family. The combined sandbox verdict was clean, with no high-risk techniques and no injection target. The recorded activity, such as writing the game's settings file and loading Steam-related libraries, fits a game modding tool. Those libraries are often flagged by antivirus engines. Because the file is rare, has no trusted signature or reference-database entry, and no complete host-reputation result is available, the detections cannot be dismissed.
What We Detected
8 of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this RAR archive. Avira and F-Secure, which share one engine, report a generic crypter label. Ikarus reports 'Trojan.Win32.Crypt'. DeepInstinct, NANO-Antivirus, Varist and two less reliable engines also flag it. No named malware family appears in any label.
Threat Behavior
The combined sandbox verdict was clean. They recorded the extraction of a Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 mod tool, a write to the game's settings file, and the loading of Steam-related libraries. No high-risk techniques, injection targets or persistence were observed. No complete reputation check of contacted hosts is available.
What To Do Now
Only run this tool if you obtained it from the mod author's known distribution page. Keep your antivirus enabled, and scan the extracted files before use. If you have any doubt about the source, delete the archive.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The combined sandbox verdict was clean, and the observed activity matches a game modding tool rather than malware.
- Every engine label is a generic packer or crypter bucket rather than a named family. Steam-emulation libraries in game mods are a frequent false-positive source.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- The sandbox runs produced a clean combined verdict, with no high-risk techniques observed.
- No injection into other processes and no persistence were recorded.
- The archive is not listed in public malware sample databases.
- Two independent major antivirus engines flag the archive with crypter-style labels.
- Eight of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it detect it in total.
- It is rarely submitted and was first seen on Oct 25, 2026.
- There is no trusted signature or known-software reference entry to vouch for it.
- The package includes game-emulation libraries of the kind often bundled with unofficial game modifications.
