Is LayersChecker.zip safe?
Single low-trust engine flag on a brand-new ZIP with five matching clean precedents.
Only MaxSecure flagged the archive; 74 other engines stayed silent. Five prior ZIP files with the same pattern were rated safe under identical low-trust-only conditions.

Before opening or extracting
Open or extract it only when its sender or download source has been independently verified.
If you already opened or extracted it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.
Intelligence
The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
Only MaxSecure flagged the archive; 74 other engines stayed silent. Five prior ZIP files with the same pattern were rated safe under identical low-trust-only conditions.
The single detection comes from a low-trust engine and is not corroborated by any tier-1 product. Five similar ZIP archives previously submitted to our no complete contacted-host reputation result was available verdicts for the same reason. No sandbox, signing, or external-intel data contradicts that pattern. The file is too new to have accumulated a meaningful reputation, but the evidence that exists points to a false positive rather than malware.
What We Detected
One low-trust engine (MaxSecure) labelled the archive Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen; all 16 tier-1 engines and 40 tier-2 engines returned clean. No YARA, CIRCL or MalwareBazaar rules matched.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox execution data or host-contact records are available. The archive contains a PE file, but the single low-trust flag and matching clean history for similar ZIPs indicate the detection is likely heuristic noise.
What To Do Now
Keep Windows Defender and other endpoint protection enabled. If you need the contents, scan the extracted files again after unpacking and avoid running unknown executables.
- 74 of 75 engines returned clean
- Five prior ZIP files with identical engine pattern rated safe
The archive can be treated as safe for normal use; continue to rely on your existing security software.
