Is 57ce220a-bbcf-4afe-b1e4-234284cd03c3 safe?
No engine among 74 flagged this 7ZIP archive, although its very limited history and absent runtime analysis warrant ordinary caution before extraction.
The archive produced no malicious or suspicious detections across 74 engines, including no alerts from 17 tier-1 engines. Its signature status is irrelevant for a 7ZIP file, but it is newly observed and lacks sandbox or complete network-reputation evidence, so extract it only if the source is expected.

If you already opened or extracted it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The archive produced no malicious or suspicious detections across 74 engines, including no alerts from 17 tier-1 engines. Its signature status is irrelevant for a 7ZIP file, but it is newly observed and lacks sandbox or complete network-reputation evidence, so extract it only if the source is expected.
Static scanning found no malicious or suspicious result among 74 engines, and all 17 reporting tier-1 engines were silent. Because this is a 7ZIP archive, code signing is not applicable and its absence is neutral. The archive is only one day old with one recorded submission, leaving little reputation history. No completed runtime observation is available, so the contents and post-extraction activity were not observed. A complete contacted-host reputation result is also unavailable, while two external-intelligence checks were skipped. Overall, the available static evidence is reassuring, with reduced certainty due to novelty and missing dynamic coverage.
What We Detected
None of 74 antivirus engines flagged the 7ZIP archive as malicious or suspicious. This includes 17 tier-1 engines such as BitDefender, Kaspersky, ESET-NOD32, and Microsoft. Code signing is not meaningful for this archive type, so the lack of a signature is not a concern by itself.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation was recorded, meaning the archive's extracted contents and runtime activity were not observed. No complete contacted-host reputation cross-check is available. The file is also newly and rarely observed, with one submitter and one recorded submission, while MalwareBazaar and YARAify coverage was skipped.
What To Do Now
Confirm that the archive came from an expected source before extracting it. Keep endpoint protection enabled, scan the extracted files, and avoid opening unexpected executables, scripts, shortcuts, or password-protected payloads.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The file is only one day old and has been submitted once, so established reputation is absent.
- MalwareBazaar and YARAify checks were skipped, and no sandbox run or complete contacted-host cross-check was recorded.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/74 engines reported a malicious or suspicious result
- engines.tier1Malicious=0
- 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection
- No brand mismatch was detected
- CIRCL returned no hit
- Only one recorded submitter and one submission
- First observed one day ago
- No completed sandbox observation
- No complete contacted-host reputation cross-check
- MalwareBazaar and YARAify checks were skipped
- Archive contents were not separately identified in the evidence
Use the archive only if its source and purpose are expected. Keep endpoint protection enabled and scan every extracted file before opening it.
