Why we think so
2 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 66 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this Android app, including major mobile-focused engines. In its sandbox run it used only network, location and device-information techniques common in normal apps, and every contacted address was checked with no malicious matches. It was first seen on Oct 26, 2026, so install it only from a source you trust.
None of the 66 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the app, and all 18 major antivirus engines that analysed it reported it clean. The sandbox run recorded only techniques common in legitimate apps, such as encrypted network traffic, location checks and device discovery. It recorded no process injection, persistence or dropped files. All contacted addresses were checked against our host reputation data and none were known to be malicious or suspicious. MalwareBazaar, YARAify and CIRCL returned no matches. The app is new and has no verified publisher identity, which limits how firmly a clean result can be stated.
What We Detected
None of the 66 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this Android package, and all 18 major antivirus engines that analysed it returned a clean result. No malware-sharing database or community rule set lists this file.
Threat Behavior
One sandbox run recorded network communication, location checks and device-information queries, all common in ordinary apps. It recorded no process injection, persistence or dropped files. The contacted addresses were all checked against our host reputation data, with no malicious or suspicious matches.
What To Do Now
The evidence does not point to malware. Because the app was first seen on Oct 26, 2026 and has no known publisher, install it only from a trusted source such as an official app store. Review the permissions it requests, especially location and phone access.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The app was first seen on Oct 26, 2026 and has no publisher identity or reference-database entry, so a fresh threat that the engines do not yet recognise cannot be fully ruled out.
- Only one sandbox run is available, and Android apps can delay or hide behaviour during short analysis runs.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 66 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the app.
- The sandbox run showed only techniques common in legitimate apps.
- No contacted address matched a known malicious or suspicious host.
- No matches in malware-sharing databases or community malware rules.
- First seen on Oct 26, 2026, with no established history.
- No publisher identity or reference-database entry backs the app.
