The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The file is a small unsigned PNG with no sandbox data, no contacted hosts, and no prior similar-hash matches.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • Future-dated filename '2026_03_18' could indicate tampering or misnaming, but no supporting engine or behavioural evidence exists.
  • Image file with unknown prevalence leaves open the theoretical possibility of steganography, yet zero detections and clean external intel weigh heavily against that.

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

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is this image safe?
We found nothing harmful in this image. None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Open it only if you trust where it came from.
What is this image?
This image is about 3.1 kB. Its original file name is hidden on this page for privacy, so we identify it by its SHA-256 fingerprint.
How many antivirus engines detected this image?
None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flag this image. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
What is the SHA-256 hash of this image?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of this image is efdce9774f3f3f8b036a89c80a3a7117be67207cb947f555540c67b63301a315, and its MD5 is c4733708951ef1253552a4d1e8f81ef5. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to open this image?
We found nothing harmful in this image. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of this image?
This report reflects the scan on Jul 8, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.

This report and its SHA-256 fingerprint are public, so the next person who checks the same file gets an instant answer; documents and images are listed by type instead of their file name. A file we had not seen before is uploaded to VirusTotal, whose security partners and subscribers can download it; MalwareTips deletes its own copy after the scan. If you ran this file and are worried, scan your device with up-to-date security software.
