Read the whole reasonShow less

Why Suspicious? 7 antivirus engines flag it; nothing else confirms it.

Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.

Don't run it until you know where it came from

Treat as untrusted; keep antivirus enabled and avoid running the executable outside a controlled test environment.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't run it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already ran it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

Not sure what to do?

Ask the MalwareTips community before you run it. If you already ran it, follow the cleanup guide.

MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The file is unsigned and exhibits two offensive MITRE techniques plus direct-IP contact. Only one major antivirus engine contributes a malicious label, and the family consensus is weak. Similar import-table fingerprint matches produced mixed prior verdicts, and the generic PyInstaller YARA rule adds limited weight. These mixed signals place the sample in the suspicious band.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • No dropped file is known to be malicious and 10 files it created all unknown.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
