Is imgupscaler-enhanced.jpg safe?
No antivirus engine flagged this JPEG, and independent threat-intelligence checks found no known family or matching detection, although the file is newly observed.
All 74 antivirus engines returned no malicious or suspicious finding, including 17 high-trust engines. The sample is a JPEG with no external intelligence match; however, it is newly observed, and no completed runtime or contacted-host assessment is available.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 74 antivirus engines returned no malicious or suspicious finding, including 17 high-trust engines. The sample is a JPEG with no external intelligence match; however, it is newly observed, and no completed runtime or contacted-host assessment is available.
The strongest evidence is complete detection silence: 0 of 74 engines flagged the file, including all 17 reporting high-trust engines. Its reported type is JPEG, so code-signing evidence is not applicable. MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, and YARAify supplied no corroborating threat match. Five earlier JPEG assessments also received clean outcomes, although file-type-only similarity carries limited weight. The file has only one submission, and no completed runtime or contacted-host reputation result is available, so those limitations temper confidence without outweighing the broad engine agreement.
What We Detected
The 266,464-byte JPEG produced 0 malicious and 0 suspicious results across 74 antivirus engines. Seventeen high-trust engines, including Avast, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Kaspersky, and Microsoft, reported no detection. MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, and YARAify also returned no matching threat intelligence.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so runtime behavior cannot be characterized. The contacted-host reputation check was also not completed or saved. Because this is reported as an image rather than an executable, the absence of code signing is neutral.
What To Do Now
The available static evidence supports normal image use. Keep endpoint protection enabled, and if the image came from an untrusted source, open it only with fully updated image-viewing software and avoid renaming or treating it as an executable.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- prevalence.classification=rare_new with uniqueSources=1 and timesSubmitted=1, so the file has little established history.
- behaviour=null and contactedHosts=null, leaving runtime activity and contacted-host reputation unassessed.
- The 5/5 similar safe files are matchKind=filetype only, which is weak similarity rather than hash, signer, or content-level corroboration.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/74 engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- tier1Malicious=0 and tier1ReportedClean=17.
- MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, and YARAify returned no threat match.
- The reported MIME type and file type are image/jpeg and JPEG.
- Five file-type-similar samples have prior safe verdicts.
- Only one source and one submission are recorded for this newly observed hash.
- No completed runtime observation is available.
- No complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
Normal image handling is reasonable based on the available evidence. Keep security software enabled and use an updated image viewer, especially because this hash is newly observed.
