Don't run this file

Do not run this file; delete it and scan your system with your security software enabled. If it was run, change your passwords from a clean device and check cryptocurrency wallets.

What to do now4 steps

This file is harmful. Don't run it, and remove it.

If you haven't run it

  1. Don't run this file. Delete it, then empty the Recycle Bin.

If you already ran it

  1. Disconnect the device from the internet, then run a full antivirus scan. Microsoft Defender Offline (Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options) also finds malware that hides while Windows runs.

  2. From another device you trust, change the passwords of your important accounts (email and banking first) and turn on two-step verification.

  3. If the scan keeps finding it, or the device still acts strangely, scan again with a second-opinion scanner from another company; if that doesn't fix it, back up your personal files and reinstall Windows.

If you already ran it, do these in order.

If you opened or installed it

Avoid banking and sign-ins on that device until it is clean. These free MalwareTips guides walk you through it.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

6 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this unsigned program, including two major antivirus engines: TrendMicro labels it the ViperSoftX spyware family and Ikarus a trojan. It is named like a software crack, a common lure for this kind of stealer, and carries a large packed-looking data blob appended to a tiny program.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • 16 major antivirus engines, including BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Avast and Avira, did not flag the file, and the two major detections name different families.
  • The sandbox summary recorded only techniques common in legitimate software and no malicious run verdict.

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

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • Moderate concern: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.

  • Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.

  • Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.

  • Note: Looked through folders on the test computer (most installers do this).

  • Note: Loaded extra code modules while running.

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; nothing confirms it.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

Threat context

How password stealers work

A password stealer runs quietly in the background and copies your private data, such as saved passwords, browser cookies, autofill details and crypto wallets, then sends it to criminals. You usually won't notice anything.

Bottom line:Stolen logins are used to break into your accounts or sold in bulk, so change passwords from another device.
