MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.

35%Confidence
Exploratory
Reasoning

The engine set shows a single tier-1 ML.Attribute detection alongside three low-trust flags, producing mixed but weak signals. Absence of signing, zero-age rare_new prevalence, and complete lack of sandbox, network, or YARA data leave the sample in low-coverage territory. No similar-hash precedents or external-intel hits exist to anchor a stronger verdict. The combination points to unknown rather than safe or malicious.

Key signals · 4

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

  1. engines.tier1Malicious=1 (Symantec) with tier1FamilyConsensus.family=attribute (weak, 1 engine)

  2. signing.signed=false and prevalence.classification=rare_new

  3. similarHashes.length=0 and externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0

  4. allMaliciousLabels contain only generic ML.Attribute and confidence strings, no named family

Points in its favour
  • No sandbox malicious verdict
  • No external intelligence hits
  • No hacktool or test-file labels
Points against
  • Unsigned DLL
  • rare_new prevalence
  • Single tier-1 ML detection
Recommended action

Do not execute until further samples or signing information become available; keep isolated and monitor for additional engine coverage.

What to do now

There isn't enough information to give this file a clear rating.

  1. Be cautious — an unknown rating is not the same as a clean bill of health.

  2. Only run it if it came directly from the official maker of the software.

  3. When in doubt, don't open it — or scan it again later once it's more widely seen.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about FrenchPacket - Copy.dll, answered from the scan data above.

  • We can't give FrenchPacket - Copy.dll a confident verdict yet — too few engines have an opinion on this exact file. Uncommon or brand-new files often show little coverage before vendors catch up, so treat it as untrusted: don't run it unless you're certain of the source.
  • FrenchPacket - Copy.dll is a Windows executable program, about 3.2 MB. We identify a file by its cryptographic hash rather than its name, because the same filename can be reused by completely different files — the hash below is the reliable fingerprint.
  • 4 of 74 antivirus engines flagged FrenchPacket - Copy.dll, 4 of them as outright malicious. A small number of detections can include false positives, so we weigh which engines flagged it and what else the file does, not just the raw count.
  • The SHA-256 hash of FrenchPacket - Copy.dll is ef5c85d5a0ab9d9a18f2a1759d2fed952455adbc612813f79ee6717db98e8beb, and its MD5 is f318ebbd36b5a76fea63904406521652. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
  • This report reflects the scan run on July 3, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of FrenchPacket - Copy.dll is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
