Verdict Safe
Is AAD50 (1).
Only two less reliable engines raised generic alerts, while all 17 major antivirus engines stayed silent; however, the unsigned, executable warrants source verification.

Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.
Good practice2 tips
We found nothing harmful in this file.
Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on.

Why we think so
5 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
APEX and Bkav were the only 2 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it to flag this executable, and neither detection identifies a corroborated malware family. All 17 major antivirus engines were silent, favoring false positives, but the file is unsigned, and lacks completed the test run, so it should come only from a source you trust.
The detection pattern is dominated by disagreement: only APEX and Bkav flagged the sample, while no major antivirus engines did. Their labels are generic and receive no support from MalwareBazaar, malware-specific YARA rules, packing indicators, or a named family consensus. The file is nevertheless unsigned and has only one recorded submission on its first observed day, which limits confidence in its provenance. No completed sandbox run exists, so the recorded extracted files and registry data do not establish normal or hostile behavior in the test run. The five similar files have mixed outcomes and match only by import-table fingerprint without signer agreement, making them weak identity evidence. Overall, the two alerts are more consistent with false positives than confirmed malware, though independent source validation remains advisable.
What We Detected
APEX and Bkav flagged the executable, accounting for 2 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox run is available, so behavior in the test run was not established. There are no malware-specific YARA matches, no MalwareBazaar match, no confirmed malicious child, and no static indication of packing or unusually high-entropy code. A complete reputation result for contacted hosts is also unavailable.
Context and Limitations
The executable is unsigned and was observed from only one submitter on its first recorded day. Similar-file history is mixed, but every match is based only on an import-table fingerprint without signer agreement; that fingerprint can be shared by unrelated software built with the same framework.
What To Do Now
Confirm the download came from the developer's official release channel and compare its SHA-256 with a publisher-provided checksum if one exists. Keep security software enabled, and avoid running the file if its source or intended purpose cannot be verified.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The executable is unsigned and so the less reliable detections cannot be dismissed with the same confidence as detections against established signed software.
- Two prior import-table fingerprint matches were associated with malware, but the same import-table fingerprint also appears in benign and inconclusive files, indicating a shared build framework rather than a dependable identity match.
- No completed sandbox run or complete contacted-host reputation check is available, leaving behavior in the test run unverified.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Only two less reliable engines raised alerts, and neither supplied a corroborated family name.
- No malware-specific researcher rules or known malware-repository match was found.
- The antivirus analysis found no packer and no high-entropy code.
- The executable has no digital signature.
- It was first observed on Oct 17, 2026 and has only one recorded submitter.
- Two engines raised generic malware alerts.
- No completed sandbox run is available to verify behavior in the test run.
- No complete contacted-host reputation assessment was saved.
