Is goggame-1256837418.ico safe?
No engine among 74 flagged this established ICO file, and independent threat-intelligence checks found no matching malware family or research rule.
All 74 antivirus engines returned without a malicious or suspicious finding, including 17 high-trust engines. The file is an established ICO image with no external threat-intelligence matches, although no runtime or contacted-host analysis is available.

Before opening
Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
If you already opened 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.
All 74 antivirus engines returned without a malicious or suspicious finding, including 17 high-trust engines. The file is an established ICO image with no external threat-intelligence matches, although no runtime or contacted-host analysis is available.
The sample is an ICO image rather than an executable, and code signing is not meaningful for this format. None of 74 engines raised a malicious or suspicious result, with all 17 participating high-trust engines returning no detection. Independent checks produced no malware-database, research-rule, or reference-database match. Its 77 submissions from 73 sources over roughly three years also argue against a newly introduced payload. No completed sandbox observation or contacted-host reputation result is available, so the conclusion rests on file-format, antivirus, prevalence, and external-intelligence evidence.
What We Detected
The file is a 152,664-byte ICO image. None of 74 antivirus engines flagged it, and all 17 participating high-trust engines reported no detection. External checks found no malware-database entry or matching research rule.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox run is available, so runtime behavior was not observed. A contacted-host reputation cross-check was also not completed or saved; no network-safety conclusion should be inferred from that missing coverage.
What To Do Now
The available evidence supports ordinary use as an icon resource. Keep endpoint protection enabled and rescan if the file changes, arrives bundled with an unexpected executable, or behaves differently from its stated format.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- behaviour=null, so the file has no completed runtime observation.
- contactedHosts=null, so no complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
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 antivirus engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- All 17 participating tier-1 engines returned no detection.
- No MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify match was found.
- The sample has been submitted 77 times by 73 sources over 1092 days.
- ICO format makes absent code signing neutral.
- No completed runtime observation is available.
- No complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
Normal handling is appropriate based on the available evidence. Keep endpoint protection enabled and investigate any unexpected executable distributed alongside this icon.
