Why we think so
0 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Only Webroot flagged the file as W32.Malware.Gen; all 16 major antivirus engines returned clean. The sample is unsigned, has been submitted 857 times over 858 days, and triggered no offensive MITRE techniques in its single sandbox run.
The detection pattern matches the classic less reliable-only false-positive shape: one low_trust engine, zero major detections, and no family consensus. The file is unsigned, yet its prevalence classification of widely seen and long established and 699 unique submitters indicate long-term benign distribution. Sandbox analysis recorded only techniques common in legitimate software and no malicious verdict. The Direct-IP rule is explicitly noted as inconclusive without host-reputation data, which is unavailable because contactedHosts is null.
What We Detected
1 of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it (Webroot) returned a generic malicious label; the remaining 69 engines, including all 16 major antivirus engines, reported clean. No code-signing certificate is present.
Threat Behavior
One sandbox execution showed only MITRE techniques common in legitimate software (T1012, T1059, T1071, T1082, T1129) and no offensive techniques. no complete contacted-host reputation result was available, files it created, or persistence indicators were recorded. The Direct-IP behaviour rule matched but is flagged by the rule itself as inconclusive without host reputation.
What To Do Now
Keep security software enabled. The file can be executed in a controlled environment if needed, but the current evidence does not warrant blocking on its own.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- communityComments contain researcher annotations labeling the file as malware and linking to external reports, but these are third-party opinions without corroborating major antivirus engine detections.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
