Is NO RECOIL.rar safe?
No antivirus engine detected the small RAR archive, though its recent appearance and absence of runtime analysis warrant care when extracting its contents.
The archive produced no detections across 74 antivirus engines, including 17 tier-1 engines, and no external intelligence source linked it to known malware. It is newly observed, however, and no sandbox execution or complete host-reputation check is available, so extracted files should still be scanned before opening.

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.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The archive produced no detections across 74 antivirus engines, including 17 tier-1 engines, and no external intelligence source linked it to known malware. It is newly observed, however, and no sandbox execution or complete host-reputation check is available, so extracted files should still be scanned before opening.
The strongest evidence is the complete absence of malicious or suspicious detections across 74 antivirus engines. Seventeen tier-1 engines, including Microsoft, Kaspersky, ESET-NOD32, and BitDefender, reported no detection, and no engine supplied a malware family label. MalwareBazaar and YARAify supplied no corroborating hit, although absence of such intelligence is not conclusive. The archive has only one recorded submission and no completed runtime observation, limiting confidence about any embedded content. Similar archive files received five prior safe decisions, but those are filetype-only matches and therefore provide weak contextual support rather than content-level validation.
What We Detected
No malicious or suspicious result appeared among 74 antivirus engines. All 17 reporting tier-1 engines returned no detection, and there was no malware-family consensus. MalwareBazaar had no matching sample, while YARAify returned zero matching rules.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available because behaviour is null. The archive also has no complete contacted-host reputation result, so no claims can be made about runtime network activity or the behavior of files after extraction.
What To Do Now
Keep endpoint protection enabled and scan every extracted file before opening it. Because the archive is newly observed and has little reputation history, avoid running embedded executables or scripts unless the source and intended contents are trusted.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- prevalence.classification=rare_new means the archive is newly observed, so its clean scan history is not yet mature.
- behaviour=null leaves the archive's contents and any extracted payload without completed runtime observation.
- contactedHosts=null means no complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
- The 5/5 safe similarHashes entries are filetype-only matches and do not establish content-level similarity.
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
- tier1Malicious=0 and 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection
- externalIntel.malwareBazaar.hit=false
- externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0
- No brand mismatch or adversarial-input flag was detected
- Newly observed archive with prevalence.timesSubmitted=1
- No completed runtime analysis because behaviour=null
- No complete host-reputation cross-check because contactedHosts=null
- Archive contents may require separate scanning after extraction
Keep endpoint protection enabled, extract only in a controlled location, and rescan every contained file before opening or executing it. Do not run unexpected scripts or programs from an untrusted source.

How widely this file has been seen
Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. That limits reputation evidence, but rarity alone is not proof of malware.

What to do now
This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.
- Recovery step 01
Open or extract it only when its sender or download source has been independently verified.
- Recovery step 02
A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.
- Recovery step 03
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.
