Is LegoToypad.exe safe?
Only one low-trust engine detected this unsigned executable, but possible process injection, LSASS-related activity, and an unchecked external IP warrant caution.
The antivirus result strongly resembles a false positive: only Bkav flagged the file, while tier-1 engines found nothing. However, one sandbox associated execution with possible process injection and LSASS-related activity, and the observed external IP was not reputation-checked, so running it on a primary system is not recommended yet.

Before running
Do not run it until the source and publisher can be verified independently.
If you already ran it
Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.
Intelligence
The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The antivirus result strongly resembles a false positive: only Bkav flagged the file, while tier-1 engines found nothing. However, one sandbox associated execution with possible process injection and LSASS-related activity, and the observed external IP was not reputation-checked, so running it on a primary system is not recommended yet.
Only 1 of 75 engines flagged the sample, and that detection came from the low-trust engine Bkav; no tier-1 engine identified malware or a family. This normally weighs heavily toward a false positive. However, completed runtime observation mapped activity to T1055 and associated process activity with LSASS, which introduces a meaningful counter-signal. The file is also unsigned, so there is no verified publisher identity or established signer history to offset that concern. One external IP was observed, but no complete host-reputation result is available because the cross-check was not saved. With no malicious sandbox verdict, malicious child, external-intelligence match, or family consensus, the evidence does not establish a specific threat.
What We Detected
Bkav flagged the executable as W32.Malware.3F8CD491, but it was the only detection among 75 engines and is categorized as low-trust. No tier-1 engine detected the file, and there is no agreed malware family. This detection pattern frequently represents a false positive.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run mapped activity to MITRE T1055, which can indicate process injection, and a heuristic associated process activity with LSASS. These are concerning signals, but the sandbox itself did not issue a malicious verdict and the inspected child was not identified as malicious. The file contacted 162.159.36.2; because the host-reputation cross-check was not completed or saved, that connection cannot be characterized as benign or malicious. No persistence indicators were recorded.
What To Do Now
Do not run the executable on a primary or sensitive computer until its origin and publisher can be verified. Keep endpoint protection enabled, obtain a fresh copy from the project's official distribution channel, and test only in an isolated environment if further validation is necessary.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The low-trust-only detection pattern usually indicates a false positive, with no tier-1 family consensus.
- behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false and droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false, so the runtime concerns lack a corroborating malicious outcome.
- YARAify returned zero rules and CIRCL returned no hit, although absent intelligence matches do not prove benignity.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Only 1/75 engines detected the file, and the detector was low-trust
- No tier-1 engine detection or family consensus
- No malicious sandbox verdict
- No malicious dropped child identified
- No CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, or YARAify match
- Unsigned Win32 executable with no verified publisher history
- Runtime evidence mapped to MITRE T1055
- Heuristic associated process activity with LSASS
- External IP 162.159.36.2 lacks a completed reputation cross-check
- File was first submitted only 11 days ago
Avoid executing this copy until its source and integrity are independently verified. Keep security protection enabled and use an isolated test environment if analysis must continue.

What this file does
Observed actions and their security significance
High concern: Injected code into another process, a technique that can conceal execution.
High concern: Used an input-capture technique that can record credentials or keystrokes.
Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.
Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.
Moderate concern: Scans through your files and folders.
Moderate concern: Checked the environment for virtualisation or analysis tools.
Note: Reads your Windows user-account details.
These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

Signatures and behavior heuristics
A community signature or high-severity behavioral heuristic matched. Signatures identify known patterns; heuristics are strong leads but are not proof on their own.
The saved runtime evidence maps this activity to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection). The mapping supports possible process injection, but it does not prove the exact injection method or the operator's intent.
EvidenceC:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k NetworkService -pSandbox observed process activity targeting LSASS (Windows credential store). Legitimate software has no business reading LSASS memory — this is Mimikatz-shape behaviour.
EvidenceC:\Windows\system32\lsass.exeThe sample contacted an external IP address directly and no application domain was recorded. Direct-IP traffic also occurs in legitimate installers and infrastructure, so this is supporting context only and requires corroboration from host reputation and other runtime evidence.
